BILE ESCULIN AZIDE BROTH is supplied by TM MEDIA. It is used for selective isolation and presumptive identication of fecal Enterococci.The broth is selective due to the presence of bile salts and sodium azide and provides rapid growth of Streptococci. Peptone and yeast extract provide nitrogenous nutrients to the organisms. Bile salts inhibit other gram-positive bacteria while sodium azide inhibits gram-negative bacteria. Streptococci hydrolyze esculin to esculetin and dextrose. Esculetin and ferric ammonium citrate form dark brown to black complex, imparting dark brown color to the broth.
