Product Description
Esculin Azide Broth is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the selective isolation and differentiation of enterococci. This broth contains esculin and sodium azide, which inhibit the growth of gram-negative bacteria while allowing enterococci to thrive. When enterococci metabolize esculin, it produces a dark brown to black precipitate, confirming their presence.
This medium is widely used in clinical and research laboratories for identifying enterococcal infections, water testing, and educational microbiology experiments. The 500g pack size ensures you have an ample supply for multiple tests, making it a cost-effective choice for labs and institutions.
