For the selective isolation of Staphylococci and Corynebacteria.
Potassium Tellurite 3.5% is a selective agent incorporated into microbiological media to inhibit the growth of a broad range of non-target bacteria. It is particularly effective in media designed to isolate specific pathogenic microorganisms. The compound's selective properties make it valuable for diagnostic and research applications. Tellurite acts by interfering with bacterial cellular processes, ensuring selective inhibition.
- Used as a selective agent in media
- Inhibits non-target bacterial growth
- Suitable for diagnostic applications
