Product Code: LAB015
A very rich agar base which, with the addition of blood, is capable of growing delicate clinical pathogens.
The medium gives colonial appearances, haemolysis patterns and pigment production of diagnostic value. When the blood is ‘chocolated’ the medium gives good recovery of Haemophilus spp. The medium can be made selective for various groups by the addition of appropriate antibiotic mixtures eg:
Streptococci – Colistin/Oxolinic acid (X013)
Gardnerella spp. – Colistin/Oxolinic acid (X011)
C. perfringens – Neomycin (X015) (X016)
Staphylococci/streptococci – Colistin/Naladixic acid (X012)
