Purpose of reducing agents?
Absorb oxygen
is used for isolation of all anaerobic organism including obligate and facultative anaerobes.
- Anaerobic blood agar
- Anaerobic PEA blood agar
- Anaerobic kanamycin-vancomycin blood agar
- Anaerobic paromomycin-vancomycin laked blood agar (PVLB)
- Thioglycollate
- Bacteroides bile-esculin (BBE)
1
The antibiotic
vancomycin will inhibit facultative and obligate gram positive anaerobes while kanamycin inhibits the growth of facultative gram negative rods. It is use to isolate gram negative anaerobes like bacteroides, prevotella, and some fusobacterium

- Anaerobic kanamycin-vancomycin blood agar
- Anaerobic paromomycin-vancomycin laked blood agar (PVLB)
- Thioglycollate

can inhibit the swarming of proteus and also inhibits the growth of facultative anaerobes such as the members of enterobacteriaceae. We can isolate gram positive and most gram negative obligate anaerobes
