CULTURE & CULTURE MEDIA Flashcards
Pathogens in Gastrointestinal tract
SALMONELLA & SHIGELLA
lactose fermenters, and non-lactose
fermenters
MacConkey
hemolytic patterns
(streptococci)
BAP (Blood Agar Plate) -
Selects the growth of a particular organism at the same time Inhibiting the growth of other organisms.
SELECTIVE CULTURE MEDIA
Streptococci /Bacitracin
Gentamycin blood agar
Haemophilus
Chocolate agar
Aeromonas
Blood agar plate w/ ampicillin
Gram (+) cocci
Phenyl ethyl alcohol
gram (+) bacteria
Columbia CNA with blood
Salmonella spp and Shigella
spp
Gram negative (GN) broth
Neisseria gonorrhea
Thayer Martin Agar (TV)
a nutritionally rich formula containing three peptone sources and 5% defibrinated (fibrin has been removed) sheep blood
COLUMBIA CNA WITH BLOOD/Columbia agar base
refers to the antibiotics colistin (C) and nalidixic acid (NA) that are added to the medium to suppress the growth of most gram-negative organisms while allowing gram-positive
bacteria to grow
CNA
-an antibiotic that targets the bacterial structure of cell membrane and cell wall
- disrupt the cell membrane of gram negative organisms thus it will not grow
Colistin
blocks DNA replication of susceptible organism
Nalidixic acid
used for the cultivation of gastrointestinal pathogens from stool specimens and rectal swabs (for Salmonella and Shigella)
GRAM-NEGATIVE BROTH
contains sodium citrate and sodium deoxycholate (a bile salt) that inhibit gram-positive organisms and the early multiplication
of gram-negative, non enteric pathogens
GRAM-NEGATIVE BROTH
Both selective and Enrichment Broth
GRAM-NEGATIVE BROTH
Primary carbon source of gram-negative broth
MANNITOL
provides nutrients for common gram-positive
cocci such as enterococci, streptococci, and staphylococci
PHENYLETHYL ALCOHOL AGAR (PEA)
should not be used in the interpretation of hemolytic reactions
PHENYLETHYL ALCOHOL AGAR (PEA)
can ONLY be used for hemolytic patterns
BAP
inhibitory to gram negative
CRYSTAL VIOLET
BASIC FUCHSIN
BILE SALT
inhibitory to gram positive
POTASSIUM TELLURITE
SODIUM AZIDE
inhibitory to swarming phenomenon
ALCOHOL
CHLORAL HYDRATE

Lowenstein-Jensen (L-J) medium
TCBS meaning
Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salt Sucrose
specialized medium to isolate Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salt Sucrose (TCBS)
act as sulfur source
Thiosulfate
buffering agent of TCBS
Citrate
Inhibit the growth of non-vibrio species
Bile Salts
Fermentable sugar that allows for the differentiation of Vibrio species based on their ability to ferment sugar
Sucrose
Used when there is an anticipated delay in bringing the specimen into the laboratory
