Bile Esculin Azide Agar is a modification of Bile Esculin Agar as per Isenberg. The modification is that the bile concentration is reduced and additional component (sodium azide) is added in this medium. Tryptone, proteose peptone and HM peptone B serve as sources of carbon, nitrogen, amino acids, vitamins and essential growth nutrients. Bile and sodium azide inhibits most of the other accompanying bacteria. If the media is dispensed in tubes in the form of slants, a positive reaction is indicated by blackening of more than half of the slant within 24-48 hours. If blackening is totally absent or if less than half of the slant is blackened within 24-48 hours, the test is negative.
