streptococci like S.mutans grow on this medium.. may be other anaerobic pathogenic streptococci(animals) also grow in this medium . Listeria monocytogenes, a gram positive foodborne pathogen, also grows very well on this medium and may actually show better hemolysis zones than when grown on regular sheep blood agar.
What else can I help you with?
Can Lactobacillus grow on blood agar?
yes
A bacterial species that grows on blood agar but will not grow on trypticase soy agar is termed an anaerobe?
false
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
Will p. aeruginosa grow on a blood agar media?
Yes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow on blood agar media because it is a non-selective medium that provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth. However, its growth on blood agar may not be as robust as on selective media designed specifically for its isolation and identification.
Why do you suppose that plate counts for urine infections are made from the blood agar plate not the MAC plate?
Plate counts for urine infections are typically made from blood agar plates rather than MacConkey (MAC) plates because blood agar supports the growth of a wider range of bacteria, including fastidious organisms that may not grow well on MAC plates. Blood agar provides the necessary nutrients and allows for the detection of hemolytic activity, which can be important for identifying certain pathogens. Additionally, urine samples often contain mixed flora, and blood agar can help in isolating and quantifying the relevant pathogens more effectively.
Does Haemophilus influenzae grow on blood agar?
Yes, Haemophilus influenzae can grow on blood agar.
Can Lactobacillus grow on blood agar?
yes
Does pseudomonas aeruginosa grow on blood agar?
Yes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow on blood agar, but it may not show the typical hemolysis patterns like other bacteria. It usually appears as flat, greenish colonies on blood agar plates.
What kind of agar should be used to grow bacteria from hands before and after washing for a grade 8 science fair?
blood or nutrient agar would work, but blood agar will most likely grow more bacteria.
A bacterial species that grows on blood agar but will not grow on trypticase soy agar is termed an anaerobe?
false
Why 7.5 percent sodium chloride agar is selective media?
Because 7.5% NaCl agar inhibits gram negative organisms from growing, and is "selective" in that only gram positive organisms can grow in this type of agar.
Can Klebsiella pneumoniae grow on Mannitol salt agar?
No, K. pneumoniae will not grow on Mannitol Salt Agar- gram negative organisms cannot grow on MSA, and K. pneumoniae is gram negative.
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 gram positive cocci fails to grow on blood agar but grows well on chocolate agar?
Haemophilus influenzae
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
Will p. aeruginosa grow on a blood agar media?
Yes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow on blood agar media because it is a non-selective medium that provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth. However, its growth on blood agar may not be as robust as on selective media designed specifically for its isolation and identification.
What fastidious organisms grow only on chocolate agar?
Most pathogenic organisms will grown on chocolate agar, it depends mostly on the incubation conditions i.e. temperature, presence/absence of oxygen etc. However there are some fastidious organisms that require certain growth factors to grow.
