Blood Agar with Neomycin

Selectively isolate Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae from the upper respiratory tract with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Blood Agar with Neomycin (TSA with 5% Sheep blood). Blood Agar with sheep blood has shown to be the most accurate medium for the determination of streptococcal hemolytic activity. The 10 μg/ml neomycin in the medium is inhibitory to most Enterobacteriaceae, Neisseria, and Staphylococcus spp without being inhibitory to streptococci.

Use Blood Agar with Neomycin (TSA with 5% Sheep blood) for selective isolation of Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae from the upper respiratory tract.

• The addition of defibrinated sheep blood enriches the medium by providing essential growth factors and also allows hemolytic reactions to be determined.
• The 10 μg/ml neomycin in the medium is inhibitory to most Enterobacteriaceae, Neisseria, and Staphylococcus spp without being inhibitory to streptococci.
• Ready-to-use convenience of prepared media.
