| Blood Agar Base No. 2 M834Blood Agar Base No. 2 is specially devised to permit the maximum recovery of streptococci, pneumococci and otherfastidious pathogenic microorganisms without interfering with their haemolytic reactions. Composition**Ingredients Gms / LitreProteose peptone 15.000Liver extract 2.500Yeast extract 5.000Sodium chloride 5.000Agar 15.000Final pH ( at 25°C) 7.4±0.2**Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters DirectionsSuspend 21.25 grams in 500 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 40 - 50°C and aseptically add 7% v/vsterile defibrinated blood.For Brucella species: Add rehydrated contents of 1 vial of Brucella Selective Supplement (FD005) to500 ml sterile molten base.For Campylobacter species : Add rehydrated contents of 1 vial of Campylobacter Supplement - I (FD006) or CampylobacterSupplement - II (FD007) or Campylobacter Supplement - III (FD008) or Campylobacter Growth Supplement (FD009) to 500ml sterile molten base.For Streptococcus species: Add rehydrated contents of 1 vial of Strepto Supplement (FD031) to 500 ml sterile molten base.Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates. Principle And InterpretationA fastidious organism is one with complete nutritional requirements, needing additional cellular building-block molecules inorder to survive (1). Blood Agar Base No. 2 is a highly nutritive medium. Microorganisms producing haemolysin give visiblehaemolytic zones on this medium. It also serves as a differential medium for Brucella and Campylobacter species byadding different antibiotic supplements for the respective bacteria (2, 3). Brucella cultures are highly infective and must behandled with care. Incubate preferably in 5-10% carbon dioxide atmosphere. Comparative studies of horse, rabbit and sheepblood showed that sheep blood gave the clearest and most reliable colony and haemolysis characteristics at both 24 and 48hours of incubation (4). It can be used to prepare Chocolate Agar for the isolation of Haemophilus and Neisseria species.It can also be used for primary isolation of Haemophilus species, where horse blood is used for enrichment. Better results areobtained by spreading half of the horse blood agar plate with 2 drops of 10% saponin (5). Liver extract and yeast extract helpsenhance the growth and haemolytic reactions of fastidious organisms like Streptococci and Pneumococci. Proteose peptoneserves as the nitrogen source while liver digest and yeast extract provide essential carbon, vitamin, nitrogen and amino acidsources. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium. Supplementation with blood (5-10%) provides additional growthfactors and also serves as basis for determining haemolytic reactions. Haemolytic patterns may vary with the source of animalblood or type of base medium used (6).
