Oxoid™ MYP Agar (500g) CM0929B is a selective and differential medium used for the isolation and enumeration of Enterococcus species, particularly in food, water, and environmental samples. MYP (Methyl Red, Yellow, and Peptone) Agar contains a combination of selective agents and chromogenic indicators, which help in differentiating Enterococcus based on their characteristic colour change and growth patterns.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Isolation and differentiation of Enterococcus species from food, water, and environmental samples
• Composition: Contains peptones for nutritional support, methyl red and yellow indicators for colour differentiation, and selective agents that inhibit non-Enterococcus organisms
• Preparation: Suspend 46g in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
• Yield: Approximately 10 litres of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Suitable for use in microbiological testing protocols for the isolation and differentiation of Enterococcus species
