Blood Agar Plate
a rich, complex medium that contains 5% sheep red blood cells
Blood Agar Plate
What plate?
Blood Agar Plate
- tests the ability of an organism to produce hemolysins, enzymes that damage/lyse red blood cells (erythrocytes).
Beta-hemolysis
_________ is complete hemolysis
Beta-hemolysis
It is characterized by a clear (transparent) zone surrounding the colonies
Beta-hemolysis
What type of Hemolysis?
Beta-hemolysis
Staphylococcus aureus
Streptococcus pyogenes
Streptococcus agalactiae
What type of Hemolysis? Give example of organism w/ this type
Alpha-hemolysis
Partial hemolysis is termed _________
Alpha-hemolysis
Colonies typically are surrounded by a green, opaque zone
Alpha-hemolysis
What type of hemolysis?
Alpha-hemolysis
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus mitis
What type of hemolysis?
Give example of organism
Gamma-hemolysis
What type of hemolysis?
Gamma-hemolysis
Staphylococcus epidermidis
What type of hemolysis?
Give example
Gamma-hemolysis
- no hemolysis
- no notable zones around the colonies
Streak-stab technique
Often when inoculating a BAP to observe hemoloysis patterns, investigators will also stab several times through the agar using an inoculating loop. What do you call this technique?
streptolysin O
This stab allows for the detection of ___________, a specific hemolysin produced by Streptococcus pyogenes.
Streak-stab technique
What technique is this?
streptolysin O
What is detected in this technique?
Note the oval-shaped areas of clearing around the stab marks in the picture; these are caused by __________
Streptococcus pyogenes
streptolysin O is a specific hemolysin produced by ___________
Aseptic technique
What do you call this technique?
Aseptic technique
For sterilization
What do you call this technique?
What is it's purpose?
Broth culturing
What type of culture?
35-37C @ 24-48hours
How many minutes/hours and at what temperature is the incubation of culture media?
