DISINFECTANT TEST BROTH (USING S. AUREUS as TEST ORGANISM) (as per BIS)

Bacteria in the genus Staphylococcus are pathogens of man and other mammals. Traditionally they were divided into two groups on the basis of their ability to clot blood plasma (the coagulase reaction). The coagulase-positive Staphylococci constitute the most pathogenic species Staphylococcus aureus. The presence of Staphylococci in a lesion might first be suspected after examination of a direct gram stain. However, small numbers of bacteria in blood preclude microscopic examination and require culturing first. Staphylococcus Aureus Enrichment Broth (Disinfectant Test Broth) is recommended for enrichment of S. aureus and Disinfectant testing as per ISI Specifications.
