The primary active agent in this supplement is Ampicillin. Ampicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the cell wall synthesis of a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Aeromonas species are generally resistant to the levels of ampicillin provided in this supplement, which allows them to be easily isolated from samples containing high levels of competing bacteria, such as feces, wastewater, or food products. This supplement is essential for following the Ryan modification of the Aeromonas medium, which is optimized for the recovery of Aeromonas hydrophila and other related species.
Advantages
- High Selectivity: Effectively eliminates Enterobacteriaceae and Gram-positive cocci from the culture, providing a "cleaner" plate for analysis.
- Precise Formulation: Each vial is pre-measured to supplement exactly 500 mL of medium, ensuring consistent antibiotic concentrations.
- Optimized Recovery: Specifically balanced to prevent the over-inhibition of target Aeromonas strains while maintaining strong selective pressure.
- Ease of Use: Reconstitutes quickly in sterile water for direct addition to the medium base.
- Reliable Performance: Rigorously tested for potency to ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility in diagnostic results.
