About this item
Charcoal Blood Agar with 10% Horse Blood and Cephalexin is a selective medium recommended for the isolation and cultivation of Bordetella pertussis.
The basal medium of Regan-Lowe Agar consists of charcoal agar supplemented with defibrinated horse blood. Charcoal, along with starch, neutralizes fatty acids and peroxides, which are toxic to Bordetella. Horse blood is an added enrichment which supports the growth of Bordetella spp. Cephalexin inhibits the growth of normal flora of the nasopharynx. Yeasts and fungi are inhibited by the inclusion of amphotericin B. Beef extract and enzymatic digest are incorporated in the medium to supply amino acids and other nitrogenous substances that are necessary for bacterial growth. Osmotic equilibrium is maintained by the addition of sodium chloride. Niacin (nicotinic acid) is a vitamin which is added for growth promotion.
