Intended Use
Brucella Agar is specifically designed for the cultivation of Brucella species and other fastidious microorganisms. It serves as a reliable medium for microbiological analysis and testing, ensuring optimal growth conditions.
Product Summary and Explanation
Formulated according to the APHA specifications for Albimi Broth, Brucella Agar provides a versatile, general-purpose medium ideal for isolating and cultivating Brucella spp., along with other fastidious organisms such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus viridans, and Neisseria meningitidis. When enriched with blood, it enables the determination of bacterial hemolytic reactions, an essential feature for diagnostic microbiology.
Moreover, Brucella Agar can be utilized as a foundational base for isolating Campylobacter spp., making it an indispensable tool for laboratories focused on infectious disease research and diagnosis. The careful formulation supports optimal growth conditions, crucial for accurate and timely results.
Background
Brucellosis represents a zoonotic disease primarily linked to domestic animals, with various transmission routes including consumption of contaminated milk and meat, as well as direct interaction with infected animals. Understanding and isolating the causative agents is vital for the control and prevention of this disease. Brucella Agar plays an integral role in this process, facilitating effective microbiological investigation.
