BD Prepared Media

The medium employs trypticase soy agar supplemented with additional agar, yeast extract, vitamin k1, hemin, cystine and 5% sheep blood

The isolation of obligately anaerobic bacteria from clinical and nonclinical materials requires the use of selective, nonselective and enrichment media

The choice of media to be employed is based upon the type of material and the results of direct microscopic observation

Nonselective media are used to isolate organisms present in low numbers and to provide an indication of the numbers and types of organisms present in the specimen or sample

Selective media are employed to facilitate recovery of the desired organisms present in mixed populations
