Description

Detect and isolate enterococci in food stuffs with this selective medium.

Detect and isolate Enterococci in foodstuffs with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Kanamycin Aesculin Azide Agar. Due to the presence of selective inhibitory components kanamycin sulphate and sodium azide medium provides selectivity against non-target organisms. Aesculin and ferric ammonium citrate together form the indicator system to detect Enterococci, which form black zones around the colonies. The black zones are produced from the formation of black iron phenolic compounds derived from aesculin hydrolysis products and ferrous ions.

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 al3 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 foods4,5
  • 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.6
