Product Overview
COLOREX™ Y.enterocolitica is a selective chromogenic culture medium intended for use in the qualitative direct detection, differentiation and presumptive identification of pathogenic biotypes of Yersinia enterocolitica. The test is performed with rectal swabs and stools, to aid in the diagnosis of Y. enterocolitica infections. Results can be interpreted after 36-48 h of aerobic incubation at 30 °C ± 2 °C.
Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for further microbiological testing or epidemiological typing. A lack of growth or the absence of colonies on COLOREX™ Y.enterocolitica does not preclude the presence of Y. enterocolitica. COLOREX™ Y.enterocolitica is not intended to diagnose infection nor to guide nor monitor treatment for infections. COLOREX™ Y.enterocolitica can also be used in the detection of Y. enterocolitica in the analyses of food products for human consumption, animal feed and in environmental samples.
