Anaerobic Blood Agar (CDC) base contains peptones that supply nitrogenous substances and amino acids necessary to grow anaerobic bacteria. Yeast extract provides B-complex vitamins and serves as a growth enhancer. Hemin, vitamin K and sheep blood stimulate the growth of anaerobes. Sodium chloride is a source of essential electrolytes and maintains osmotic equilibrium. Paromomycin and vancomycin facilitate the recovery of fastidious, obligately anaerobic non-spore-forming gram-negative bacilli from mixed populations by inhibiting facultative and aerobic gram-negative rods2.
