This is a selective differential medium for the isolation of Escherichia coli 0157:H7.
It differs from other MacConkey medium in that Lactose has been replaced by Sorbitol. As Escherichia coli 0157:H7 does not ferment Sorbitol it produces pale translucent colonies whereas most other strains of Escherichia coli are Sorbitol positive and produce pink colonies.
