Description

Unit Size: Each
Enterococci are part of the normal intestinal flora of human and animals. They have been long recognized as important human pathogens and are becoming increasingly so. Kanamycin Esculin Azide Agar is formulated as per Mossel et al ^1, 2 to detect Enterococci in foodstuffs. Mossel et al^3 used it for the dip slide technique for bacteriological monitoring of foods.
• Selective: due to the presence of kanamycin sulphate and sodium azide medium provides selectivity against non-target organisms.
• Easy to read: aesculin-hydrolyzing Streptococci form black zones around the colonies.
• Can be used successfully for the isolation of glycopeptide resistant enterococci from clinical specimens and foods^4,5
• Ready to use: convenience of prepared media.Members of the genus Enterococcus were classified as group D Streptococcus until 1984, when genomic DNA analysis indicated a separate genus classification would be appropriate.^6Not all products are available for sale in all territories. Please inquire.Remel™ and Oxoid™ products are now part of the Thermo Scientific brand.
