The performance of Columbia agar medium with added sheep blood and gentamicin (CAG) for isolation of Streptococcus pneumoniae from middle-ear fluid cultures was compared to that of routine blood agar medium (BA). Of 238 pneumococcal isolates recovered, CAG plates detected 233 (97.9%) but BA plates detected only 208 (87.4%) (P < 0. 001).
将添加羊血和庆大霉素的哥伦比亚琼脂培养基(CAG)用于从中耳积液培养物中分离肺炎链球菌的性能,与常规血琼脂培养基(BA)进行了比较。在回收的238株肺炎球菌分离株中,CAG平板检测到233株(97.9%),而BA平板仅检测到208株(87.4%)(P<0.001)。
