With Colorex™ Vibrio, the most common pathogenic Vibrio species are easily distinguishable by colony color. Naturally present on marine plants and animals, Vibrio genus counts over 20 species. Colorex™ Vibrio rapidly differentiates those of interest as public health hazards; V. cholerae often cause cholera through food and water contaminations. V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus are largely involved in foodborne diseases from seafood. V. alginolyticus is less common but is a major issue for seafood and oyster producers.
Colorex™ Vibrio is for the isolation and detection of V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, and V. cholerae. Suitable for direct streaking of food, water, surface or other environmental samples either with or without an enrichment step.
