Phenylethyl Alcohol Blood Agar (PEA) is a selective medium that inhibits facultative gram-negative rods & swarming of some Clostridium & Proteus species. This medium is prepared, dispensed, & packaged under oxygen-free conditions to prevent the formation of oxidized products prior to use. This medium is also available in a 1-plate package or packaged w/ other media types in a single convenience pack.PEA contains a selective agent, phenylethyl alcohol, which reversibly & selectively inhibits DNA synthesis, inhibiting facultative anaerobic gram-negative bacteria such as those of the family Enterobacteriaceae. This medium supports the growth of most obligate anaerobes. Morphology on PEA are similar to those found on other blood agar plates, like Brucella Blood Agar. PEA is useful in the selective isolation of anaerobes from mixed populations containing rapidly growing gram-negative bacteria such as Proteus species.
