Anaerobic Blood Agar (CDC) base contains peptones that supply nitrogenous substances and amino acids necessary for the growth of 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. Kanamycin and vancomycin are antibiotics which inhibit gram-positive organisms and facultative anaerobic bacteria and select for gram-negative bacilli.
