Product Overview
COLOREX™ STEC is a selective chromogenic culture medium intended for use in the qualitative direct detection, differentiation and presumptive identification of Shiga-like-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC), to aid in the diagnosis of STEC infections. The test is performed with rectal swab and stools. Results can be interpreted after 18-24 h of aerobic incubation at 35-37 °C.
Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for further microbiological testing or epidemiological typing. A lack of growth or the absence of mauve colonies on COLOREX™ STEC does not preclude the presence of STEC. COLOREX™ STEC is not intended to diagnose infection nor to guide nor monitor treatment for infections.
COLOREX™ STEC can also be used in the detection of STEC in the analyses of food products for human consumption, animal feed and in environmental samples.
