The Neogen® Petrifilm® Bacillus cereus Count (BC) Plate is a selective and differential sample-ready-culture-medium system which contains proprietary nutrients, a cold-water-soluble gelling agent, chromogenic indicators and a lecithinase substrate that facilitates colony enumeration. Simply inoculate a plate with the correct sample aliquot, roll the top film over the plate, incubate and count the typical colonies.
This medium is used for the enumeration of the Bacillus cereus group without confirmation in the food and beverage industries. The Bacillus cereus group also known as the B. cereus sensu lato group includes the detection of B. cytotoxicus. Bacillus cereus is commonly found in the environment and can contaminate food and cause intestinal illness. Neogen Food Safety is certified to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 for design and manufacturing.
