Disclosed is a medium for growing Enterococci so that detection may be obtained within 24 hours. It contains one or more nutrient indicators, selective agents to inhibit the growth of other microorganisms, and vitamins, amino acids, trace elements and salts. More specifically, the medium contains a) an effective amount of vitamins, amino acids, trace elements and salts operable to allow viability and reproduction of Enterococci; b) an effective amount of one or more nutrient indicators provided in an amount sufficient to provide a detectable characteristic signal in the medium during growth of said Enterococci; said nutrient indicator releasing a nutrient moiety in the presence of a-glucosidase; c) an effective amount of one or more selective agents active to prevent or inhibit the growth of microorganisms other than Enterococci.
