We have read with interest the recent paper by Drancourt et al. in which they reviewed the use of blood agar medium for the primary isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2). They state that to their knowledge “no comparative study comparing the efficacy of blood-based agars and egg-based agars has been carried out, and even the ability of blood agar to support growth of M. tuberculosis was f...
متن کاملA comparison of brain heart infusion blood agar sterilized by filtration and heat on the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae on brain heart infusion blood agar in which the base was sterilized by filtration has been compared with growth on the same medium sterilized by heat. Colonies were larger on the unheated medium, and autoclaving at 115 degrees C of 121 degrees C for 15 minutes was accompanied by a progressive decrease in colony size. Viable counts on the three media showed no...

Among fundamental developments in bacteriology the elaboration of solid culture substrates will always hold first place. With the introduction of a method for isolating micro6rganisms and growing them in pure culture, bacteriologists possessed the means for studying what Ferdinand Cohn (1872) called "Die kleinsten lebenden Wesen." Credit for the discovery of the solid medium technique is common...
متن کاملComparison of acetate differential agar with sellers citrate-mannitol-agar.
A total of 245 isolates of Escherichia coli (paracolons) were employed in comparing the use of acetate differential agar (ADA) with the simple test described by Sellers to eliminate these organisms from consideration as enteric pathogens. At 18 hr after the media were inoculated, 83% of the isolates produced a positive citrate reaction on Sellers citrate-mannitol-agar (SCM) and 7% gave a positi...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Candida dubliniensis on chrom agar and Pal's agar.
Difference in expression of putative virulence factors and in antifungal susceptibility among different Candida species has raised the need for species-level identification. The close relationship of Candida dubliniensis with C. albicans has led to misidentification of C. dubliniensis isolates as C. albicans. Phenotypic tests include ability to produce chlamydospore on casein agar, colony colou...
