OXOID
Oxoid™ Kanamycin Aesculin Azide Agar (500g) is a selective medium used for the isolation and differentiation of Enterococcus species, particularly from food, water, and clinical samples. The medium contains kanamycin to inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, sodium azide to inhibit Gram-positive bacteria other than Enterococcus, and esculin, which allows for the differentiation of Enterococcus species based on their ability to hydrolyse esculin. The hydrolysis of esculin leads to the formation of a black precipitate, which is characteristic of Enterococcus growth.
