CAE (Citrate Azide Enterococcus) Agar Base 500G

CAE (Citrate Azide Enterococcus) Agar Base is recommended for identification of Enterococci in meat, meat products, dairy products and other food stuffs. The medium was initially formulated by Burkwall and Hartmann and later modified by Reuter and is used for the identification of enterococci in food products. Enterococci reduce the colourless 2, 3, 5 Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride (FD057) to form a red coloured complex, formazan, thereby imparting a red colour to the enterococcal colonies.
