question
Columbia CNA agar with 5% sheep blood
answer
serves as a comparison for growth quality on the Columbia CNA with 5% sheep blood agar plate
question
what is the role of the nutrient agar
answer
organism is inhibited by colistin and nalidixic acid
probable gram-negative organism
probable gram-negative organism
question
poor growth(P) or no growth(N)
answer
organism is not inhibited by colistin and nalidixic acid and completely hemolyzes RBCs
probable beta-hemolytic
(staphylococcus, Streptococcus)
There might be artifactual greening with some beta hemolytic organisms
probable beta-hemolytic
(staphylococcus, Streptococcus)
There might be artifactual greening with some beta hemolytic organisms
question
good growth(G) with clearing of medium (beta-hemolysis)
answer
organism is not inhibited by colistin and nalidixic acid and partically hemolyzes RBCS
probable-alpha hemolytic (Staphylococcus, streptococcus)
probable-alpha hemolytic (Staphylococcus, streptococcus)
question
Goog growth(G) with greening of medium(alpha-hemolysis)
answer
organism is not inhibited by colistin and nalidixic acid and does not hemolyze RBCs
probable y-hemolytic (staphylococcus)
probable y-hemolytic (staphylococcus)
question
good growth (G) with no change of medium's color
answer
undefined
