|
basic nutrient media definition
|
general all purpose media. supports growth of most bacterial. used in high volume lab.
|
|
nutrient agar definition
|
good for the growth of less fastidious bacteria
|
|
trypticase soy agar definition
|
supports groth of most clinical bacteria
|
|
enriched media definition
|
basic nutrient media with extra nutrients. usually blood, serum, or egg. for fastidious bacteria
|
|
blood agar plate definition
|
very common. contains 5% sheeps blood in the trypticase soy agar.
|
|
chocolate agar definition
|
blood is added to nutrient agar & then heated used to grow STD's (brucella)
|
|
definition of selective media
|
contains a substance that selects 1 type of bacteria and inhibits other bacterial growth. may contain bile salt, abx, etc.
|
|
definition phenylethel alcohol agar
|
selects gram positive bacteria only. inhibits gram negative bacteria.
|
|
definition of macconkey agar
|
pretty popular. selects gram negative rods only. inhibits all other bacteria types.
|
|
definition of differential media
|
selects for a group of bacteria and contains an indicator that visibly is changed by metabolic activity of the bacteria.
|
|
definition of macconkey agar
|
colonies change color if bacteria can ferment lactose. fermenters are pink. non fermenters are clear.
|
|
definition of hektoen enteric agar
|
selects gram negative enteric pathogens. inhibits all normal flora. good for salmonella. fermenter= salmon. non fermenters are blue green.
|
|
definitionj of triple sugar iron agar
|
used to classify bacteria by ability to ferment. yellow= ferm. red=no ferm.
|
|
definition of mannitol salt agar
|
selects for g. staphylococci. can be used to isolate staph arreus. aureus= eyllow. non path= red
|
|
defintion of selective media broths
|
used for fecal cultures
|
|
definition of selenite broth
|
used for feces of non ruminants
|
|
definition of tetrathionate broth
|
suppresses coloform sp for ruminants
|
|
definition of brain heart infusion broth
|
useful all purpose broth. used to increase number of organisms before plating
|
|
definition of motility media
|
find out if bacteria are mobile or not.
|
|
definition of indole test media
|
compound produced by tripifan de comp in intestines. gives feces its odor. tests for the ability of bacteria to produce indole.
|
|
alpha
|
alpha hemolysis is partial hemolysis that creates a narrow band of greenish slime around bacteria colony.
|
|
beta
|
complete hemolysis. creates a clear zone around bacteria colony
|
|
gamma
|
hemolysis that produces no change in appearance of medium
|
|
delta
|
zone of hemolysis is surrounded by a narrow zone of hemolysis around bacteria colony.
|
|
materials needed for innoculation
|
medium/media
culture loop wire incubator flame/lighter |
|
initial plating technique
|
protocol
contamination application |
|
how long do you incubate media
|
24-48hrs
|
|
colony characteristics
|
size- pinpoint med or large
color - transparent or opaque density - elevation form consistency odor hemolysis - breaking down of blood cells (A, B, G, D) |
|
sensitivity testing types
|
kirby bauer
minimum inhibitory concentration |
