Thermo ScientificTM OxoidTM
Isolate and presumptively identify enterococci / Group D streptococci with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Bile Aesculin Agar (Dehydrated). Bile Aesculin Agar is designed to differentiate between Group D streptococci and non-Group D streptococci.
Group D streptococci hydrolyse aesculin to form aesculetin and dextrose. Aesculin hydrolysis is indicative of a positive result. Bile salts in the medium inhibit Gram-positive bacteria other than enterococci/ Group D streptococci.
