    Study Notes

    Culture Requirements for Isolation of Specific Bacteria

    • Haemophilus influenzae thrives on Chocolate agar, which contains Factors V (NAD+) and X (hematin), along with Vancomycin to inhibit other organisms.
    • Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis grow on Thayer-Martin agar, specifically designed to favor Neisseria while suppressing gram-positive bacteria using Trimethoprim and Colistin. Fungal growth is inhibited by Nystatin.
    • Bordetella pertussis can be isolated using Bordet-Gengou agar or Regan-Lowe medium, both supplemented with potato extract, charcoal, blood, and antibiotics to support growth.
    • Corynebacterium diphtheriae is cultured using Tellurite agar or Löffler medium, which are special media suited for its isolation.
    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis requires Löwenstein-Jensen medium or Middlebrook medium for culture, and can also be rapidly cultivated in automated broth cultures.
    • Mycoplasma pneumoniae growth is facilitated by Eaton agar, with a specific requirement for cholesterol in the media.
    • Lactose-fermenting Enterics are isolated on MacConkey agar, where lactose fermentation results in acid production, enabling identification.
