Thermo Scientific™ CCDA Selective Medium

Modified CCDA Medium is based on the original formulation described by Bolton which was developed to replace blood with charcoal, ferrous sulphate and sodium pyruvate. Improved selectivity is achieved using cefoperazone as the selective agent. Amphotericin B has been added to the formula to suppress the growth of yeast and fungal contaminants that may occur at 37°C.
