What is an EMB plate?

An EMB (Eosin Methylene Blue) plate is a selective and differential agar medium used for the isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative bacteria, particularly for detecting Enterobacteriaceae. It contains lactose, eosin Y, methylene blue, and peptone to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and selectively isolate Gram-negative bacteria.
