acumedia* Yersinia Agar

• Intended Use: Yersinia Selective Agar is used with cefsulodin and novobiocin for the isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica.
• Product Summary and Explanation: Yersinia enterocolitica is a significant food or water borne enteric pathogen. Yersinia Selective
Agar is a selective and differential medium supporting good growth of Y. enterocolitica and some Yersinia spp. The formula is
based on Cefsulodin-Irgasan-Novobiocin (CIN) Agar developed by Schiemann. In comparison with MacConkey Agar and SS
Agar, Schiemann found CIN Agar provided increased inhibition of normal enteric organisms and provided improved direct
recovery of Y. enterocolitica from feces. Schiemann later modified his formula to further improve growth and recovery of Y.
