描述

一般說明

GranuCult^® plus Bile Esculin Azide Agar is a selective medium used for isolation and presumptive identification of fecal Streptococci. The presence of intestinal enterococci serves as an indicator of fecal contamination. BEA agar is employed as a confirmation and enumeration of medium for typical isolation on the primary isolation Membrane Enterococcus Selective Agar (1.05262 and 1.05289). Enterococci and some species of the genus Streptococcus namely S. bovis and S. equines can reproduce normally in this medium. Esculin hydrolysis and bile tolerances are regarded as reliable characteristics of enterococci. Intestinal enterococci hydrolyze the glycoside esculin to give dextrose and esculetin, which forms an olive green to black complex with iron (III) ions.Enterococci are bile tolerant. Bile salts exhibit the growth of numerous accompanying bacteria. The concentration of sodium azide in the medium inhibits the growth of Gram-negative microbial flora while sparing the enterococci.

應用

GranuCult^® plus Bile Aesculin Azide Agar is suitable for the detection and enumeration of intestinal enterococci (fecal streptococci).

特點和優勢

• GranuCult^® offers superior granulated culture media
• Safe and sustainable due to reduced risks associated with fine dust and toxic substance inhalation, resulting in a safer work environment
• Excellent wettability, solubility, and free-flowing properties
• Convenient, with minimal component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions
• High batch-to-batch reproducibility
• Prolonged shelf life of up to five years
• High number of test strains exceeding all regulatory demands
• Granulation technology allows many supplements to be included, with no need to add these separately
