Thermo Scientific™ Bile Esculin Azide Agar

Description

• Isolate, enumerate and presumptively identify group D streptococci and enterococci using Thermo Scientific™ Bile Esculin Azide Agar, a microbiological media that includes a high portion of Ox bile
• Ox bile present in the media inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria except Enterococci, while Sodium azide suppresses the Gram-negative bacteria
• Group D streptococci and enterococci are able to hydrolyse aesculin into aesculetin and glucose, and the bondage of aesculetin and ferric ammonium citrate causes the brown-black to black halo around the colonies
• Our products are manufactured and distributed across the world through a vast network of company-owned facilities to ensure you receive the freshest, highest performing medium possible
• For fastest delivery we recommend you select the product part number with a manufacturing origin closest to you
