DNase Agar with Toluidine Blue

Description

DNase Test Agar, and DNase Test Agar with Toluidine Blue are differential media used for the detection of deoxyribonuclease activity to aid in the identification of bacteria isolated from clinical specimens.

The DNase test is used to detect the degradation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The test is useful for differentiating Serratia from Enterobacter, Staphylococcus aureus from coagulase-negative staphylococci, and Moraxella catarrhalis from Neisseria species.
