This study evaluated the ability of ten commercial blood cultures to support the growth of a nutritional variant Streptococcus mitior (pyridoxal-dependent). The abilities of two established and two new agar formulations are also reported. The dependable isolation of a fastidious streptococcus can best be obtained with fastidious anaerobe broth (FAB) (Lab M Ltd, Ford Lane, Salford) for blood cultures in conjunction with one of the new media. FAB agar with the addition of heated blood was found to support the growth of pyridoxal-dependent Strep mitior and other fastidious organisms.
本研究评估了十种商业血培养产品支持营养变异型缓症链球菌(吡哆醛依赖性)生长的能力。还报告了两种既定和两种新琼脂配方的能力。对于血培养,使用苛求厌氧菌肉汤(FAB,Lab M有限公司,索尔福德福特巷)结合其中一种新培养基,能够最好地可靠分离出苛求链球菌。发现添加加热血液的FAB琼脂能支持吡哆醛依赖性缓症链球菌和其他苛求微生物的生长。
