For culture, isolation and determination of susceptibility of anaerobic pathogens in human microbiology, crucial is the quality of bacteriological culture media for this type of testing. Since anaerobic bacteria are difficult to culture and anaerobic infections are potentially serious, careful attention must be paid to preparation, storing and use of these media. The article provides an overview of numerous solid and liquid culture media used in the diagnosis of anaerobic bacteria.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D001421 Bacteria, Anaerobic Bacteria that can survive and grow in the complete, or nearly complete absence of oxygen. Anaerobic Bacteria
