Study Notes
Bacterial Culture Media
-
Bile esculin agar isolates Enterococci and group D Streptococci.
-
Cetrimide agar isolates Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
-
Cysteine-lactose electrolyte deficient (CLED) agar isolates and differentiates urinary tract bacteria. It inhibits Proetus species swarming, and differentiates lactose fermenters from non-lactose fermenters.
-
Hektoen enteric agar (HEA) isolates and recovers fecal bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family, particularly Salmonella and Shigella species.
-
Mannitol salt agar (MSA) isolates organisms, especially halophiles, that ferment mannitol, producing lactic acid.
