Description
SGL Kanamycin Aesculin Azide Agar (KAA) is a ready-to-use selective culture medium supplied in 500ml bottles for the detection and enumeration of intestinal enterococci. Commonly used in water testing, environmental monitoring, food microbiology and quality control laboratories, the selective formulation inhibits many competing organisms whilst supporting the growth of enterococci. The inclusion of aesculin allows characteristic reactions to be observed, helping laboratories identify and enumerate target organisms during routine testing and contamination investigations. The ready-prepared format removes the need for media preparation and sterilisation, helping laboratories save valuable time whilst maintaining consistent testing procedures.
