For use in the cultivation and selective isolation of anaerobic gram-positive bacteria.
The PEA with 5% Sheep Blood provides a selective medium for the isolation and cultivation of gram-positive bacteria, particularly streptococci and staphylococci. The phenylethyl alcohol inhibits the DNA synthesis of gram-negative bacteria, while the 5% sheep blood enhances the growth of fastidious bacteria by supplying necessary nutrients. This high-quality medium is essential for accurate and efficient bacterial identification and classification.
- Selective medium ideal for the cultivation of gram-positive bacteria
- Contains phenylethyl alcohol to inhibit gram-negative bacteria growth
- Enriched with 5% sheep blood for enhanced growth of fastidious bacteria
