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
Why have zone inhibition?
It is the area on an agar plate where growth of a control organism is prevented by an antibiotic usually placed on the agar surface. If the test organism is susceptable to the antibiotic, it will not grow where the antibioitic is.
Does eikenella grow on maconkey AGAR?
Eikenella corrodens generally does not grow on MacConkey agar because it is a fastidious organism that requires enriched media for growth. MacConkey agar is selective for gram-negative bacteria and primarily supports the growth of enteric bacteria, which Eikenella is not. Instead, Eikenella grows well on blood agar or other enriched media that provide the necessary nutrients.
What is the substrate in blood agar?
In blood agar, the substrate is typically a base medium such as tryptic soy agar or nutrient agar that is enriched with sheep or horse blood. This enriched medium provides essential nutrients and growth factors for a wide variety of bacteria. The blood also allows for the observation of hemolytic activity, as some bacteria can lyse red blood cells and change the appearance of the agar around their colonies.
From which organism agar agar is extracted?
red algae Agar agar is a malay term meaning red algae. This algae which agar is extracted lives in the ocean around Malaysia
Lactose fermentation mac conkey test which color indicate a positive test?

Does Chromobacterium violaceum pit blood agar?

If an organism can grow on both a nutrient agar and a MacConkey Agar on which would you expect it to grow better?
You would expect the organism to grow better on nutrient agar because it is a general-purpose medium that supports the growth of a wide range of organisms. MacConkey agar, on the other hand, contains inhibitors that selectively inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, so the organism may not grow as well on this medium.
Will Moraxella grow on maconkey agar?
Moraxella is a fastidious organism and may grow on MacConkey agar, but not as well as it would on media specifically designed for its growth, such as blood agar. MacConkey agar is selective for Gram-negative bacteria that ferment lactose, which may not support the growth of Moraxella well as it is usually non-lactose fermenting.
What is the purpose of stabbing the blood agar?
By stabbing the blood agar, the hemolysis will be easier to see and identify.
Does Haemophilus influenzae grow on blood agar?

A common medium used for growing fastidious bacteria is?
blood agar, as it provides essential nutrients and growth factors needed for the growth of fastidious bacteria. Additionally, the presence of blood in the agar helps to support the growth of these bacteria by providing additional nutrients.
