Bile Esculin Azide Agar
Catalog Number: B2017300 (500 g)
Bile Esculin Azide Agar (BEAA) is a selective and differential medium for isolating and identifying Enterococcus species and group D streptococci. Key components include bile salts, esculin, ferric citrate, and sodium azide. Esculin hydrolysis by these bacteria produces a dark brown or black complex, indicating a positive result. BEAA is useful for distinguishing these bacteria from other gram-positive cocci. This product has been used as a molecular tool for various biochemical applications. It has also been used in a wide array of other chemical and immunological applications. Custom bulk amounts of this product are available upon request.
