Thermo Scientific™ A.R.I.A Medium with 5% Horse Blood and Neomycin
Description
Isolate fastidious and non‑fastidious anaerobic bacteria from clinical samples within 24 to 72 hours using Thermo Scientific™ Anaerobe Recovery and Isolation Agar (A.R.I.A™).
Made from Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ dehydrated culture media, A.R.I.A contains 5% defibrinated horse blood and peptones, carefully selected to support the growth of anaerobic bacteria. Neomycin is present as a selective agent for obligate anaerobes.
The following constituents have been added to the formulation to enhance performance:
1. Shanson DC, Singh J. Effect of adding cysteine to brain heart infusion broth on the isolation of Bacteroides fragilis from experimental blood cultures. Journal of Clinical Pathology 1981; 34:221-3
2. Gibbons RJ, Macdonald JB. Haemin and vitamin K as required factors for cultivation of certain strains of B. melaninogevicus. Journal of Bacteriology 1960; 80:164-70
The following constituents have been added to the formulation to enhance performance:
- Yeast extract provides a vitamin source, and starch is present to absorb any toxic metabolites
- L-cysteine is present as a reducing agent and has shown to stimulate the growth of some anaerobes1
- Glucose is the main carbohydrate, and sodium pyruvate is also added as an energy source for asaccharolytic cocci, such as Veillonella
- Haemin and Vitamin K are also included as growth factors required by many Bacteriodes species2
- Neomycin is present as a selective agent for obligate anaerobes
