Description
Bacillus cereus Agar Base is a medium used with supplements for the selective detection of Bacillus cereus in food.
The complete medium (MYP) complies with the recommendations of ISO 7932, ISO 21871 and FDA-BAM for the identification of B. cereus on the basis of polymyxin resistance, ability to ferment mannitol and production of lecithinase.
Mossel's formulation makes this medium sufficiently selective to detect even small numbers of Bacillus cereus cells and spores in the presence of large numbers of other contaminants. Therefore, it is also suitable for the examination of stool specimens.
