acumedia* Cetrimide Agar (Medium N)

• Intended Use: Cetrimide Agar (Agar Medium N) is used in the isolation and identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Conforms
to Harmonized USP/EP/JP Requirements
• Product Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most commonly isolated pathogens, especially in clinical specimens.

This organism is a significant cause of burn and nosocomial infections. The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to destroy tissue may be related to the production of various extracellular enzymes. Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a number of water-soluble pigments, including the yellow-green or yellow-brown fluorescent pigment pyoverdin (fluorescein). When pyoverdin combines with the blue water-soluble pigment pyocyanin, the bright green color characteristic of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is created.5 Agar containing Cetrimide have successfully isolated Pseudomononas aeruginosa from contaminated specimens.
