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

CFC agar base is recommended for enumeration of Pseudomonas species from meat and meat products including poultry by means of colony count technique 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.
