acumedia* Phenylethanol Agar

• Intended Use: Phenylethanol Agar is used with blood for the selective isolation of Gram-positive cocci.
• Product Summary and Explanation: Brewer and Lilley reported the addition of phenylethanol to a nutritive medium permitted
growth of Gram-positive organisms, but markedly to completely inhibited growth of Gram-negative organisms. Phenylethanol
Agar inhibits swarming of Proteus spp., and can be used to selectively isolate anaerobic bacteria from clinical specimens with
mixed flora. Phenylethanol Agar is specified for use in several reference methods.
