Selectively isolate most clinically significant anaerobes with Thermo Scientific™ Fastidious Anaerobe Agar with Neomycin. Anaerobes are widely distributed in nature and are the predominant components of bacterial flora of normal human skin and mucous membranes. Fastidious Anaerobe Agar with Neomycin is a primary isolation medium which includes specific peptones for the recovery of fastidious anaerobic bacteria.
Key Features
Fastidious Anaerobe Agar with Neomycin includes a number of peptones chosen for maximum growth stimulation of fastidious organisms. Starch and sodium bicarbonate act as detoxification agents, while haemin encourages pigment production in
Porphyromonas melaninogenicus. Specific growth-promoting agents are cysteine for
Fusobacterium necrophorum,
Propionibacterium acne and
Bacteriodes fragilis; arginine for
Eubacterium spp.; and soluble pyrophosphate for
Porphyromonas gingivalis and
Porphyromonas asaccharolyticus. Pyruvate helps neutralize hydrogen peroxide and is also utilized by
Veillionella spp. as an energy source. Vitamin K and sodium succinate provide essential growth factors for some anaerobes as does the 0.1% glucose. The low level of glucose prevents the production of high levels of acids and alcohols which would inhibit colonial development.
