Additional Information for Bile Esculin Agar Culture Medium
Bile Esculin Agar Culture Medium is a type of culture medium used in microbiology laboratories for the isolation and identification of certain bacteria. It falls under the supply class In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits And Sets in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Bile Esculin Agar contains a combination of ingredients that promote the growth of certain bacteria while inhibiting the growth of others. It is primarily used for the detection and differentiation of enterococci and group D streptococci, which are bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract.
The medium contains bile salts, which inhibit the growth of most gram-positive bacteria except for enterococci and group D streptococci. It also contains esculin, a compound that can be hydrolyzed by certain bacteria to produce esculetin. Esculetin reacts with ferric ions in the medium to form a dark brown or black precipitate, indicating a positive result.
Bile Esculin Agar Culture Medium is typically used in clinical laboratories for the identification of bacteria in various samples, such as blood, urine, and feces. It is an important tool in diagnosing infections caused by enterococci and group D streptococci.
