Pseudomonas Isolation Agar Plate

This medium is recommended for selective isolation and identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from clinical and non clinical specimens. Peptone provides nitrogenous compounds and other essential growth nutrients. Glycerol is a source of energy and promotes pyocyanin i.e. pigment production which is characteristic of Pseudomonas. Potassium sulphate and magnesium chloride enhance pyocyanin production. Triclosan selectively inhibits gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
