Product Overview
Bile Esculin Agar Plate is a specialized medium designed for the differentiation and identification of enterococci and group D streptococci. It is formulated to detect the hydrolysis of esculin in the presence of bile, which is a crucial step in identifying these bacteria. The agar contains bile salts and esculin, which, when hydrolyzed by the bacteria, produce a darkening of the medium. This reaction is indicative of the presence of enterococci and group D streptococci, making it an essential tool in microbiological laboratories. The high-quality ingredients ensure consistent and reliable results, making it ideal for both educational and research purposes.
