A selective and differential agar for optimal growth of the large curved motile anaerobic rods isolated from patients having non-specific vaginosis (NSV) was developed. A basal medium of Columbia CNA agar was used with colony growth found to be optimal by the addition of 7% fetal calf serum and 5% rabbit blood (CNARS). Beta-Haemolysis was found to be demonstrated most readily on a bilayer plate with a basal layer consisting of CNA agar with fetal calf serum, overlaid with a layer of CNA agar containing fetal calf serum and rabbit blood. Optimal growth was found by anaerobic incubation at 37 degrees C, after 5 days.

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

D000362 Agar A complex sulfated polymer of galactose units, extracted from Gelidium cartilagineum, Gracilaria confervoides, and related red algae. It is used as a gel in the preparation of solid culture media for microorganisms, as a bulk laxative, in making emulsions, and as a supporting medium for immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis.
