Description
• Intended Use: Modified Buffered Peptone Water with Pyruvate (mBPWp) is used for the isolation of Enterohemorrhagic E. coli
(EHEC).
• Product Summary: Modified Buffered Peptone Water with Pyruvate is recommended in the sample preparation for the screening
method following FDA/BAM Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) Protocol. After the sample is incubated for five hours in
Modified Buffered Peptone Water with Pyruvate, several antimicrobial agents are added, followed by an additional incubation
period. These antimicrobic supplements effectively suppress normal flora, while allowing the growth of viable O157:H7 cells
(including STEC), and is capable of detecting <1 cfu/g in foods. Improved recovery of pathogenic E. coli from difficult
commodities was achieved with Modified Buffered Peptone Water with Pyruvate enrichment.
