CHROMOGENIC ENTEROCOCCI BROTH *

Chromogenic Enterococcus Broth is used for rapid identification and differentiation of Enterococci from water samples. This medium is being formulated by Manafi and Sommer, Althous et al, Amoras and Litsky et al. The presence of Enterococcus group, which is a subgroup of the faecal Streptococci, serves as a valuable bacterial indicator for determining the extent of faecal contamination and it is more specific than the detection of coliforms, which may originate from non-faecal sources
