DNase Test Agar
#PD022
DNase Test agar is specially recommended for the identification of pathogenic Staphylococci and Serratia.
Casein and soy peptone provide nitrogen, vitamins, minerals and aminoacids for growth and deoxyribonucleic acid enables the detection of DNase that depolymerize DNA. Bacteriological agar is the solidifying agent.

Select Strep. TSA + 5% Def. Sheep Blood + Aesculin
#PD095
Highly selective due to the addition of special inhibitors making it highly selective for Streptococci, particularly when Gram negative bacilli (e.g. Proteus) are present and tend to overgrow on conventional plates. Group D Streptococci are capable of hydrolyzing Aesculin to glucose and aglycone 6-7 dihydroxycumarin: The aglycone reacts with the iron salts in the medium giving them a black coloring. Group B Streptococci can be identified by the “camp effect” by making a single streak of the unknown bacteria perpendicularly to a strain of Staphylococcus aureus that is known to be crystal violet resistant and produces βeta-Lysin.
Streptococci Select Medium – Cat No. PD133
#PD133
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.
