Kligler Iron Agar (500g)

Kligler Iron Agar (500g) Highlights

• Microbiological Culture Medium: Kliger Iron Agar is a selective and differential culture medium used in microbiology. It is designed to isolate and differentiate bacteria based on their ability to ferment lactose and produce hydrogen sulfide.
• Key for Bacterial Identification: This medium is particularly useful for the presumptive identification of Gram-negative bacteria, such as those found in the Enterobacteriaceae family. It helps distinguish between lactose fermenters and non-fermenters, and between sulfide producers and non-producers.
• Composition and Function: The medium typically contains peptone, lactose, glucose, iron salts, and a pH indicator. The pH indicator changes color based on acid production from fermentation, while the iron salts react with hydrogen sulfide to form a black precipitate.
• Storage and Handling: Kliger Iron Agar should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its efficacy. Proper aseptic techniques are crucial during preparation and use to prevent contamination.
• Laboratory Applications: It is a standard reagent in clinical microbiology laboratories for the initial screening and identification of bacterial isolates from various sample types, including clinical specimens and environmental sources.
