Improvement of growth support ability of culture media and suppression ability of contaminants! We offer a variety of reagents related to microbiological testing. Please choose according to your testing method.

The causes of severe community-acquired pneumonia cases are considered to be primarily due to pneumococci and Legionella, and the antibiotic therapy differs in these cases. Legionella is a microorganism with special nutritional requirements, and since the presence of this bacterium cannot be denied even if no microorganisms are detected in blood agar culture, a specific isolation medium for Legionella is necessary. Our company offers "Legionella BCYEα agar medium" as a non-selective medium, "Legionella GVPC agar medium" compliant with ISO11731 as a selective isolation medium, and "Legionella MWY agar medium" which allows for color differentiation of major Legionella species. Additionally, we provide a kit utilizing latex agglutination reaction called "Legionella Latex Kit" as a related product. We also have "Legionella testing acid treatment solution" available for pretreatment of co-contaminants. Please also consider using Legionella growth supplements. Choose according to your testing methods and objectives. For more details, please refer to the catalog below.
