Alkali Scientific Cystine Heart Agar w/Sheep Blood & Antibiotic Plate, 10/Pk
Supplier: Alkali Scientific CHCP00
Cystine Heart Agar with Sheep Blood and Antibiotic is a specialized selective enriched medium used primarily for the isolation of fastidious microorganisms, especially Francisella tularensis. Each sterile petri dish contains a nutrient rich beef heart infusion base supplemented with L cystine and 5% defibrinated sheep blood along with a selective antibiotic mixture. The cystine provides essential sulfhydryl groups required for the metabolism and growth of Francisella species, while sheep blood contributes additional nutrients and growth factors that enhance colony development. The antibiotic supplement suppresses background flora commonly present in clinical specimens such as respiratory secretions or tissue samples. This formulation supports reliable recovery of delicate pathogens and is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories for selective cultivation.
