CFC AGAR BASE (CEPHALOTHIN-SODIUM FUSIDATE-CETRIMIDE AGAR)

CFC Broth Base is prepared according to ISO which contains magnesium chloride and potassium sulphate to enhance pigment production. The medium base is supplemented with CFC Supplement for the isolation and enumeration of Pseudomonas spp from meat products, after incubation at 25?C for 48 hours.
Goto and Enomoto formulated CetriNix supplement for the selective isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from clinical specimens. Lowbury and Collins studied cetrimide as a selective agent. CetriNix supplement suppresses Klebsiella, Proteus and Providencia species. Modified CFC Selective Supplement was formulated as per the recommendations of ISO for selective isolation of Pseudomonas species. It contains cephalothin, sodium fusidate and cetrimide to improve the selective action. This combination of supplement gave more specific medium to isolate Pseudomonas species from chilled foods and processing plants.
