Conventional TSA, Columbia, and BAB blood agar plates are supplied:
PD005 - Blood Agar base - Defibrinated Sheep Blood
For cultivation of fastidious microorganisms and determination of haemolytic activity
PD049 - Tryptic Soy Blood Agar (TSBA) + Defibrinated Sheep Blood
Improved TSA blood plates which produce luxuriant growth of pathogens Streptococci and larger zones of haemolysis to aid in detection.
Selective Blood Agar Line
Hy Laboratories offers a new line of different selective prepoured blood media in Petri dishes that enable the recovering of Staphylococcal and/or Streptococcal strains, according to their haemolytic reactions, inhibiting at the same time the conventional contaminant bacteria, as follows:
PD093 - CNA Columbia Agar + Defibrinated Sheep Blood
For the isolation of most fastidious microorganisms.The addition of special inhibitors (Colistin and Nalidixic Acid) make the agar highly selective for Gram positive-cocci, Staphylococci and Streptococci. This is particularly useful when Gram negative bacilli (e.g. Proteus) are present and tend to overgrow on conventional blood agar plates.
PD133 - Streptococci Select Medium
A selective enriched medium for the isolation of haemolytic Streptococcus from throat swabs and other clinical specimens. It favors growth of Beta haemolytic Streptococci ensuring luxuriant growth of the most fastidious microorganisms within 24 hours at 37oC (anaerobically) while the absolutely unique combination of microbial agents contained in the medium inhibits Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria except for Beta - haemolytic Streptococci which are not affected, and can be differentiated by their typical haemolytic reaction. A zone of growth inhibition around a bacitracin (0.04 units) disc allows the specific differentiation of group A Beta haemolytic Streptococci.
PD214 – Group A Streptococci Agar (GASA)
Highly selective, the addition of a combination of different antimicrobial agents provide complete inhibition of gram-negative bacteria, as well as Staplylococci and most other Streptococci. The formula includes Beta-haemolytic enhancement factors and the addition of 5% sheep blood allow the better detection of haemolytic patterns on this improved base. The use of a bacitracin disc, (0.04 units) aids in the identification of the S. pyogenes.
Anaerobic Line
PD162 - CDC Anaerobic Blood Agar
TSA + 5% sheep blood supplemented with yeast extract, hemin, vitamin K1 and L-cystine. Non-selective blood agar for primary isolation of ALL anaerobes found in clinical samples, including the most fastidious ( Bac. melaninogenicus and F. necrophorum)
PDA170 - CDC +Amikin Anaerobic Blood Agar
TSA+5% sheep blood supplemented with yeast extract, hemin, Vit K1, and L-cystine. Selective for pathogenic anarobes in clinical samples.
PD072 - Tryptic Soy Agar + Defibrinated Sheep Blood + Amikin
Highly selective culture media that inhibits competitive Gram negative flora, improved with growth factors that assure a luxuriant growth of anaerobic microorganisms.
PD016 - Gardnerella Agar
Selective, inhibitory to Gram positive and negative competitive flora, Gardnerella strains are identified by its' -haemolysis on human blood when incubated anaerobically.
