Endo Agar was developed in order to differentiate gram-negative bacteria based on the fermentation of lactose, while inhibiting growth of gram-positive bacteria. Endo Agar, also known as Fuchsin Sulphite and Infusion Agar, was initially used to isolate the typhoid bacilli. Nowadays, Endo Agar is used to confirm the detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria from drinking water; to isolate fecal coliforms from milk, dairy products and food. The medium contains peptone which provide nitrogen, carbon, vitamins and minerals required for bacterial growth. Sodium sulphite and basic fuchsin make this medium selective by suppressing gram-positive organisms. Coliforms produce pink colonies on fermention of lactose while lactose non-fermenters produce colourless colonies on the medium. This reaction is prominent in case of Escherichia coli, as the fuchsin crystallizes and imparts a permanent greenish metallic luster (fuchsin luster) to the colonies.
