Media are used to grow bacterial colonies (millions of bacteria having arisen through the binary fission of a single progenitor). Article Summary: Blood Agar is a bacterial growth medium that can distinguish normal from pathogenic bacteria based on the effect of bacterial hemolytic exotoxins on red blood cells.
The addition of blood to this medium known as Chocolate Blood Agar plates (CBA) allows for the observation of hemolytic reactions from pathogenic microorganisms. Chocolate agar supplemented with 10% sterile defibrinated blood is suited for isolating Haemophilus and Neisseria species. Haemophilus influenzae will grow on Chocolate Agar in 5% C02 and will not grow on sheep's blood. These fastidious bacteria need growth factors, like NAD and hemin, found inside red blood cells; thus, a prerequisite to growth is lysis of the red blood cells.
