CompactDry CF - Coliform

CompactDry CF - Coliform

CompactDry CF is an easy tool for the detection of coliform bacteria. The media contains the chromogenic enzyme substrate X-Gal which result in a blue to blue/green colonies. CompactDry CF enables easy culture and coliform count in solid food stuff (homogenized with buffer solution), water/liquid samples and swab based environmental testing for surfaces and production areas. The growth of other bacterial types (genius) are mostly inhibited, but in certain instances may
form colourless colonies.

Coliforms are gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-spore forming bacteria and commonly found in animal intestines and soil. The term "coliform" refers to enteric bacteria found in food stuff such as meat, shellfish, dairy products, other foods and in particular water.

Bacteria such as Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter are all coliforms, but the most recognized coliform is Escherichia coli. Testing for the presence of coliform is important in the food industry especially in monitoring water quality.
