Description

Prepared asceptic media ready for immediate use. BD™ Bordet Gengou Agar with 15% Sheep Blood, Plates is a selective medium for the isolation of Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis from nasopharyngeal specimens.

All Bordetella species (e.g. B. pertussis and B. parapertussis) are respiratory pathogens, residing in ciliated epithelial cells of the respiratory tract. Bordet Gengou Agar Base is a modification of the medium originally described by Bordet and Gengou for the cultivation of Bordetella pertussis.

  • Prepared according to the American Public Health Association formulation
  • Infusion from potato provides nitrogen and vitamins
  • Potato starch absorbs fatty acids that may inhibit growth of B. pertussis
  • Glycerol is a carbon source
  • Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium
  • The addition of 15% sheep blood provides essential complex growth factors
  • Cefalexin is a selective agent to partially suppress normal respiratory tract flora

Supplied in ready to use Stacker™ plates

  • Prepared plated media are ready for immediate use
  • Microbiologically controlled for uncompromised isolation of microorganisms
  • Specialized lid and bottom allow plates to interlock and stack without slipping
  • Specially engineered design easily separates without agitating the sample
