The principles

The peptones are the nutrient substrates required for the rapid multiplication of Pseudomonas.


The chromogenic substrate in the culture medium is hydrolysed by all Pseudomonas. The colonies become very pale blue to blue-green in colour.


The selective system used and the cephalosporin allow inhibition of most of the secondary flora.
