Enterohemolysin blood agar medium
For EHEC screening!
If a colony suspected of EHEC is recognized from the culture medium, the traditional procedure has been to isolate the E. coli, identify it based on biochemical characteristics, serotype it, and conduct a VT production test. This requires significant effort, cost, and time. Based on reports indicating a high correlation between VT production and enterohemolysin production in EHEC, our company has prepared "Enterohemolysin Blood Agar Medium," which can efficiently detect enterohemolysin production through hemolytic phenomena, and we propose a simple screening method. We believe that conducting the VT production test based on hemolytic characteristics after culture is the simplest, fastest, and most economical screening method. This medium allows for the inoculation of multiple strains on a single plate and is considered to be highly valuable as a method for screening EHEC from many isolated E. coli strains.
