OXOID

Oxoid™ D'Nase Agar (500g) is a differential medium used for the detection of deoxyribonuclease (DNase) activity in microorganisms, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. It is commonly used in clinical microbiology to distinguish DNase-positive pathogens from non-producers. The medium contains DNA as a substrate, and DNase-producing organisms hydrolyse the DNA, which can be visualised by flooding the plate with hydrochloric acid or toluidine blue, resulting in a clear zone around colonies.
