types of enriched media
blood agar plate
chocolate agar
types of selective media
phenylethel alcohol agar
macconkey agar
types of differential media
macconkey
hektoen enteric agar
triple sugar iron
types of selective media broth
selenite broth
tetrathionate broth
misc types of media
brain heart infusion broth
motility media
indole test media
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
