bacteria
What is enrichment media in microbiology?
Enriched media is different from Enrichment media... Enriched media: Blood and other special nutrients may be added to general purpose media to encourage the growth of fastidious microbes. These specially forfited media are called as enriched media. e.g. Blood agar, Chocolate agar. Enrichment media: This is a media which promotes the growth of a particular organism by providing it with the essential nutrients and rarely contains certain inhibitory substance to prevent the growth of normal competitors. e.g. Selenite F broth- this media favours thegrowth of Salmonella also prevents the growth of normal competitors like E. coli . but E.Coli do not perish in the medium but they do not flourish like Salmonella
Is blood heart infusion agar a defined or a complex medium?
Blood agar is enriched medium which are complex media to which an extra nutrient source (such as blood in this case) is added to encourage the growth of fastidious heterotrophs.
What is enrichment media?
Enriched media are the selective media in which substances like blood,serum,egg etc are added to the basal medium. They are used to grow the bacteria which are more exacting in their nutritional needs. eg-blood agar- enriched with blood loeffers serum slope-enriched with serum lowenstein jensen media-enriched with egg

What type of media is used for growing a culture from a throat specimen?
blood and chocolate agar plates as well as in universities laboratory Nutrient agar plates are also provided
What type of medium is blood agar?
Blood agar is media rich in reb blood cells and the most commonly used type of media is horse blood media. It is useful for the isolation of bacteria such as Streptococci or organisms that would not readily grow on media that lack red blood cells. For the isolation of Streptococci it is also useful in observing alpha and beta haemolysis.
What is function of agar plate?
The primary function of the blood in blood agar is to provide a source of nutrition to the culture. In addition, the presence of blood provides a major diagnostic tool in the form of hemolysis. If the blood is hemolysed, and to what degree there is hemolysis, this helps divide several major classes of bacteria from each other.
What are the general forms of media used in a microbiology laboratory?
Physical types of media include those that are liquid, such as broths and milk, those that are semi solid, and those that are solid. Kristian F.
Is a blood agar selective or differential?
Blood agar is a bacterial growth medium which contains 5% sheep's blood. It is considered to be differential but not selective, because it is an enriched medium that provides a rich nutrient environment for many types of bacteria, while a selective medium supports the growth of certain types of bacteria but inhibits other types. Blood agar is considered differential because it is used to distinguish pathogenic bacteria based on the effect of bacterial enzymes known as hemolysins which lyse red blood cells. Blood agar is mainly used clinically to detect the presence of Streptococcus pyogenes, the human pathogen which causes "strep throat". Blood agar can be made selective by the addition of other ingredients.
