Isolate Haemophilus species from respiratory specimens containing mixed flora with this medium.
Isolate Haemophilus species from respiratory specimens containing mixed flora with InMicro® Prepared: Chocolate Agar with Bacitracin. The isolation and identification of Haemophilus spp are often hindered by overgrowth of commensal microbial flora. Hoving and Aandahl reported improved recovery of Haemophilus on Chocolate Agar with Bacitracin as compared to isolation on Sheep Blood Agar with a streak of Staphylococcus aureus.
Hemoglobin in the Chocolate Agar formulation provides the X factor, and GCHI Enrichment provides the V factor required for the growth of fastidious organisms. The presence of corn starch ensures that toxic metabolites produced by Haemophilus are absorbed. Bacitracin is a selective agent that is inhibitory to most strains of streptococci, staphylococci, Neisseria spp., and Micrococcus spp.
Manufactured at a cGMP-compliant facility under the ISO 13485 standard, ensuring high-quality manufacturing standards, consistency, and reliability for both research and industrial settings.
