Product Overview

【 Principle 】

Multivalent peptone provides peptides, amino acids, and growth factors to meet the basic nutritional needs of harsh bacteria; Starch can neutralize toxic hydrogen peroxide released from the blood, adsorb inhibitory substances in the culture medium, and improve the survival rate of bacterial strains; Sodium chloride maintains osmotic pressure; Agar is a coagulant; DeFiberated sheep blood provides growth factors X and V for harsh bacteria such as Haemophilus and Neisseria.

Main components

Composed of multivalent peptone, starch, sodium chloride, agar, and defatted sheep blood.

Clinical application scenarios

Primary isolation and cultivation of pathogenic bacteria under harsh conditions: specifically designed for cultivating difficult to culture bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae that require X and V factors.

Routine bacterial screening of sterile specimens: Simultaneously detecting common bacteria and pathogenic bacteria from harsh conditions, achieving full microbial culture of clean specimens.

Respiratory infection pathogen detection: isolation of Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pyogenes to assist in the diagnosis of respiratory infections such as pneumonia and pharyngitis.

Screening for urinary and reproductive tract infections: used for isolating Neisseria gonorrhoeae from cervical and urethral specimens and diagnosing gonorrhea.

Pure strain recovery and passage preservation: meet the purification, passage, and activity maintenance requirements of harsh bacteria such as Neisseria and Haemophilus.

Mixed low impurity bacterial infection specimen culture: The formula does not contain antibiotics, does not inhibit accompanying pathogenic bacteria, and avoids missed detection of mixed pathogens.


Introduction to the Relevant Microbiological Characteristics

Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis: Streptococcus pyogenes, obligate aerobic, with extremely high nutritional requirements; The colony is small, smooth, and semi transparent like dewdrops.

Haemophilus influenzae: Streptococcus pneumoniae, facultative anaerobic, requires X+V factor; The colony is small, colorless and transparent, and grows in a satellite shape near the site of Streptococcus pyogenes.

Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes: Streptococcus pyogenes, facultative anaerobic; The colony is small, with visible alpha/beta hemolytic rings.

Staphylococcus: Staphylococcus aureus, resistant to dryness; The colony is round and raised, milky white or golden yellow, opaque.

Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella): G ⁻ facultative anaerobic bacteria; Medium sized colony, moist gray white.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa: G-specific aerobic, hygroscopic; Flat colonies produce green pigments with a unique odor.
