Side 1: Columbia Blood Agar with 7% Sheep Blood & CNA Supplement
This is a selective medium for the isolation of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp. Based on columbia agar, it is enriched by the addition of sheep blood (7%) the medium is also made selective by the inclusion of colistin and nalidixic acid to suppress the growth of the majority of Gram negative bacteria. The addition of sheep blood to the medium allows for good colonial appearance, pigment production and excellent haemolysis from beta-haemolytic streptococci.
Side 2: Sabouraud Dextrose Agar with Chloramphenicol
A selective medium for the isolation of yeasts and fungi. Sabouraud dextrose agar is suitable for use in all areas of Mycology. The low pH of the medium inhibits most bacteria, however in this formulation chloramphenicol (150mg/L) is added to further reduce the risk when processing material that may be heavily contaminated particularly with coliforms.
