Description

This medium is recommended for the detection and isolation of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis. The original medium is modified by replacing 50% human or rabbit blood with 15% sheep blood to make the medium more enriched for detection of B. pertussis by the virtue of its haemolytic reaction. Enrichment of the basal media with 25% human blood aids in the detection of Mycobacterium species from small sputum inocula and in Streptomycin sensitivity testing.
