Product Description
HiDip™ Mac-CLED-Bile Esculin Medium is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of bile-tolerant Gram-positive bacteria, particularly enterococci and group D streptococci. This medium combines the properties of MacConkey agar, CLED agar, and bile esculin to provide a comprehensive solution for microbiology testing.
The medium contains bile salts and esculin, which inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria while allowing bile-tolerant Gram-positive organisms to thrive. The addition of ferric citrate enables the detection of esculin hydrolysis, indicated by a blackening of the medium around the colonies. This makes it an essential tool for clinical and research laboratories involved in bacterial identification.
Each pack contains 5 ready-to-use tubes, ensuring convenience and consistency in your experiments. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this medium simplifies the process of identifying and studying bile-tolerant bacteria.
