INTENDED USE

BacterChrom™ Pseudomonas is a chromogenic medium designed for the isolation and detection of Pseudomonas species. It is particularly useful in environmental and food safety testing, as Pseudomonas aeruginosa serves as an indicator of disinfection efficacy in recreational water systems such as swimming pools and wading pools. The medium also aids in identifying Pseudomonas as an opportunistic pathogen often associated with waterborne transmission.
Results are observable after 24 – 36 hours of aerobic incubation at 30 °C, with an extension to 48 hours for fragile Pseudomonas strains. For targeted detection of P. aeruginosa, incubation at 37°C or 41°C is recommended based on the application field.

PRINCIPLES

BacterChrom™ Pseudomonas employs chromogenic substrates that react with specific enzymatic activities of target microorganisms, producing distinct colony colors for easy differentiation. Selective agents are incorporated to inhibit the growth of non-target organisms, ensuring high specificity. This combination enables reliable detection and simplifies the identification process in various sample types.

Allow to warm to room temperature before inoculation, dry the plates in an incubator with the covers partially removed.
Apply the sample onto the plate either by direct inoculation or by evenly spreading it across the surface. If using the filtration technique, gently place the inoculated membrane onto the plate’s surface
Incubate in aerobic conditions at 30°C for 24 – 36 hours.

RESULTS

BacterLab ensures the quality of each product batch by testing with ATCC reference strains.
