Cetrimide Agar Base

Cetrimide Agar Base is a selective, semi-solid culture medium specifically formulated for the isolation and identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Manufactured by BioLab and exclusively distributed in Iran by Fardad Azma Rad Co., this medium is ideal for clinical and environmental microbiology.

Key Features:

  • Cetrimide: Inhibits the growth of most bacteria, especially Gram-positives, enabling selective growth of P. aeruginosa

  • Peptones: Supply essential nutrients and amino acids

  • Salts: Maintain osmotic balance

  • Agar: Solidifying agent for surface colony development

  • Fluorescent Pigment Detection: P. aeruginosa produces characteristic greenish-blue or fluorescent pigments for easy visual identification

Widely used in hospital infection control, water testing, and contamination monitoring.

Main Applications of Cetrimide Agar Base

  1. Identification and Isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: This medium is specifically used for identifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa, one of the most important hospital pathogens, which can cause respiratory, urinary, and other types of infections. This bacterium typically grows on this medium and produces distinct colors, making its identification easier.

  2. Identification of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: Since Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to many antibiotics, the use of Cetrimide Agar Base is important in identifying antibiotic-resistant strains in hospital and industrial environments.

  3. Environmental Contamination Testing: Cetrimide Agar Base is widely used for detecting environmental and hospital contamination, especially when quick identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is needed in environments like water, air, or hospital surfaces.

  4. Industrial and Food Contamination Testing: This medium is also used in the pharmaceutical and food industries for detecting bacterial and fungal contamination and is especially valuable in industrial contamination testing.
