Agars Flashcards
Differentiation using hemolytic properties
BAP
BAP component?
Tryptic Soy Agar + 5% Sheep Blood/ 5% Horse Blood
- used to better isolate Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Gentamicin Blood Agar (GBA)
GBA component?
TSA+ 5% sheep blood +gentamicin
Differential of MAC
Fermentation of lactose
antibiotic inhibitor used to better isolate
Haemophilus spp.
Bacitracin-
Makes use of horse blood (High concentration of X and V
Factor)
Bacitracin Blood Agar (BCA)
MAC contains what to inhibit growth of gram pos bacteria?
Bile salts and crystal violet
V factor
NAD or NADP
CAP supplement?
VItalex
X factor?
Hemin
H2S indicator of SSA?
Ferric citrate
indicator of SSA?
Neutral red
Indicator of Mac Conkey agar?
neutral red
A modified deoxycholate agar
Salmonella shigella agar
Inhibitor of SSA
Bile salts, sodium citrate and brillant green
-Broth for the Isolation of Shigella and Salmonella
. SELENITE F broth
Medium for urine specimens?
BAP and MAC
-Strictly anaerobic bacteria (ie, those that cannot grow in the
presence of oxygen) grow at the bottom of the broth.
FLUID THIOGLYCOLLATE (FT)
Inhibitors of Thiosulfate citrate Bile Salt sucrose Agar?
Bile salt, Sodium cholate, alkaline pH
Agar selective for vibrio spp
TCBS agar
- Used for antibiotic susceptibility testing (Disk Diffusion,
test, Modified Hodge test, etc.) of most non-fastidious
bacteria.
Mueller Hinton Agat
Standard depth of MHA?
4mm
pH pf MHA?
7.2-7.4
Indicator of TCBS agar?
Bromthymol blue
-General purpose medium that is routinely used to grow
bacteria which tend to have high nutritional requirements
(ce, they are fastidious)
TRYPTIC SOY BROTH (TSB)
broth medium for the enrichment of Vibrio species from
food, water, and clinical samples.
ALKALINE PEPTONE WATER
- Used for antibiotic susceptibility testing of Haemophilus
species.
HAEMOPHILUS TEST MEDIUM (HTM)
Medium for stool
MAC, SSA,TCBS, Selenite F, APW,
-This broth supports the growth of anaerobes, aerobes,
microaerophilic, and fastidious microorganisms.
FLUID THIOGLYCOLLATE (FT)
Strict aerobic bacteria (ie, require oxygen for growth), such
as Pseudomonas sp., tend to grow toward the surface of the
broth
FLUID THIOGLYCOLLATE (FT)
-inhibitory for coliforms and certain other microbial specs,
such as focal streptococci, present in fecal specimens
SELENITE F Broth
