m-EI Chromogenic Agar Base, Modified Condalab 2050
m-EI Chromogenic Agar Base Modified is for the isolation and differentiation of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecails. The medium is a morified version of the m-EI chromogenic agar base where there is an additional chromogenic substrate added. It allows for the diffentiation of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis.
The peptone provides nitrogen, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are essential for growth. Yeast extract provides trace elements, vitamins, and amino acids and the esculin is hydrolyzed by enterococci to form esculetin and dextrose. Cycloheximide inhibits most fungi, and the sodium azide inhibits Gram negative bacteria. Chromogenic Mix is added to differentiate Enterococcus faecium from Enterococcus faecalis. Bacteriological agar is the solidifying agent.
