MacConkey agar
MacConkey agar is a selective and differential culture medium used for the isolation and enumeration of Gram-negative bacteria, particularly members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. It contains bile salts and crystal violet to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, while allowing the growth of Gram-negative bacteria.

The fecal microbial analyses were performed by media-dependent assay and based on the determination of the following bacterial populations: Enterococcus spp., Lactobacillus spp., Clostridium spp., Bacteroides spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and enterobacteria.
Fecal pellets were diluted in sterile peptone water and the suspensions were used to inoculate selective culture media: Enterococcus spp.: KF Streptococcus agar (Acumedia, USA), 37°C, 48 h [35 (link)]; Lactobacillus spp.: Man Rogosa Sharpe agar (MRS) (Acumedia), 37°C, 48 h [36 (link)]; enterobacteria: MacConkey agar (Acumedia), 37°C, 48 h [37 (link)]; Clostridium spp.: Reinforced Clostridium Agar (Acumedia), 37°C, 48 h [38 (link)]; Bacteroides spp.: Bacteroides bile esculin agar (BBE) (Acumedia), 37°C, 72 h [39 (link)]; Bifidobacterium spp.: Bifidobacterium iodoacetate medium 25 (BIM-25), 37°C, 72 h [40 (link)].

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
