Description

Selectively isolate anaerobic bacteria from clinical specimens using Schaedler LKV Agar.

Selectively isolate anaerobic bacteria from clinical specimens using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Schaedler LKV Agar (w/laked blood, kanamycin, vancomycin, hemin, and vitamin K). In 1965, Schaedler, Dubos, and Costello developed Schaedler Base for recovery of bacteria encountered in the gastrointestinal tract and found it to be successful in supporting the growth of fastidious anaerobic microorganisms1. Schaedler Laked KV Agar contains Lake blood which is used in anaerobic media to enhance pigmentation of Prevotella and Porphyromonas spp.

Mata, Carillo, and Villatoro modified Schaedler formulation by replacing pancreatic digest of casein with tryptic soy broth2 and reported excellent recovery of anaerobic and microaerophilic organisms. Inhibitors were added due to the selective media when processing specimens containing commensal microbial flora. Schaedler Blood Agar contains sheep blood and hemin that stimulate the growth of fastidious microorganisms. Schaedler Blood Agar with CNA contain antimicrobial agents such as colistin and nalidixic acid that inhibit the growth facultative anaerobic bacteria. Schaedler Blood Agar with KV contains antimicrobial agents like kanamycin and vancomycin that are selective for gram-negative bacilli and inhibit gram-positive organisms and facultative anaerobic bacteria.

  • Ready-to-use – Convenience of prepared medium
  • Selective – Lake blood used in anaerobic media enhances pigmentation of Prevotella and Porphyromonas

The medium contains casein, soy, and meat peptones that provide nitrogen, amino acids, and peptides necessary for bacterial growth. Yeast extract enhances the growth by supplying vitamin B-complex. Sodium chloride supplies essential electrolytes and maintains osmotic equilibrium. Dextrose provides an energy source.
