acumedia* Bile Esculin Agar

Intended Use: Bile Esculin Agar is used for the selective isolation and differentiation of group D streptococci.
• Product Summary: Bile Esculin Agar is based on the formulation described by Swan and further evaluated by Facklam and Moody. Rochaix first noted the value of esculin hydrolysis in the identification of enterococcci. Meyer and Schonfeld added bile to the esculin medium and demonstrated 61 of 62 enterococci strains were able to grow and hydrolyze esculin, while other streptococci could not.
