Brilliant Green Lactose Bile Broth is used for the detection of coliform bacteria in water, food, and dairy products in a laboratory setting. Brilliant Green Lactose Bile Broth is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. The coliform group of bacteria includes aerobic and facultative anaerobic, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming bacilli that ferment lactose and form acid and gas at 35°C within 48 hours. Members of the Enterobacteriacae comprise the majority of this group, but organisms such as Aeromonas spp. may also be included. Procedures to detect and confirm coliforms are used in testing water, foods, dairy products and other materials. Brilliant Green Lactose Bile Broth is used to confirm a positive presumptive test result. Brilliant Green Lactose Bile Broth is also referred to as Brilliant Green Bile Broth, Brilliant Green Lactose Broth, Brilliant Green Bile Broth 2% and Brilliant Green Lactose Bile Broth, 2%.
