Isolation of Haemophilus species from the oropharynx of British sheep. 1980

T W Little, and D G Pritchard, and J E Shreeve

Specimens from the oropharynx of 51 adult sheep were cultured for the presence of Haemophilus species using a selective chocolate agar containing cloxacillin and bacitracin. From these sheep three X-dependent strains closely resembling Haemophilus avis, and two haemolytic V-dependent and 37 non-haemolytic V-dependent strains were isolated. The precise classification of these V-dependent strains requires further investigation but they were tentatively identified as being H parahaemolyticus and H parainfluenzae respectively.

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
