 CULTURE MEDIUM AND CULTURE MEDIA 

CULTURE MEDIUM:

DEFINITION: A chemically prepared solid /liquid substance used to support the growth of microorganism

Uses : 

  1. To provide nutrition
  2. To provide space
  3. To provide growth
  4. To increase population
  5. To handle stress
  6. To differentiate species 


COMPONENTS:

1) NITROGEN SOURCE- Amino,protein extract,peptone

2) Growth factor- Blood serum,meat,yeast extract

3)Energy- Sugar,alcohol,carbohydrate

4)Buffer - Maintain ph ,phosphate,acetate 

5) Salt- Enhance growth,phosphate ,sulfate,magnesium



SELECTIVE AGENTS:

  • CHEMICAL
  • ANTIBIOTICS
  • INDICATOR DYE

GELLING AGENT : 

  • Act as solidifying agent 
  • agar ,gelatin- agents
CULTURE MEDIA 

  • Culture media is required to grow organism from infected material to identify the causative agent
  • It contains: water,vitamin,mineral,growth factor,blood,serum,agar,peptone  
TYPES :
  1. SIMPLE
  2. COMPLEX
  3. SPECIAL: ENRICHED,ENRICHMENT,SELECTIVE,DIFFERENTIAL,INDICATOR,TRANSPORT,SUGAR 
  4. SYNTHETIC
  5. ANAEROBIC : DEHYDRATE 


SIMPLE:
  • Nutrient broth - peptone water+meat extract
  • glucose broth- peptone water+glucose
  • nutrient agar- nutrient broth +agar ( 2-3%)
complex media : 
  • all media other than simple media
synthetic media: 
  • they are prepared from pure chemical
media                                          use 
  • nutrient broth                  routine culture
  • glucose broth                  blood culture
  • nutrient agar                routine culture 
SPECIAL MEDIA: 
BLOOD MEDIA - Nutrient agar +sheep blood
eg- streptococcus -require blood for growth
CHOCOLATE AGAR;
Used in haemophilus influenza
ENRICHMENT MEDIA 
1) SELECTIVE F BROTH
Culture of faeces for salmonella and shigella
2) cooked meat broth /robertson cooked meat broth
culture of anaerobic bacteria
SELECTIVE MEDIA : 
  1. Deoxycholate citrate - culture of salmonella ,shigella
  2. bile salt agar - culture of vibrio cholerae





INDICATOR MEDIA 
Macconkey's medium- culture of gram negative bacilli
TRANSPORT MEDIA:
  • They are used for the transport of the clinical sample suspected to contain delicate organism or when the delay is expected while transporting the sample
  • Simpler terms from site of collection to laboratory 
  • Condition in the media is in such a way that they don't multiply within the collected container 
  • This also prevents drying of sample and maintain viability of the organism in the sample
  • Examples: stuart medium for neisseria species,
  • venkatraman ramakrishnan medium -vibrio cholerae
AIM OF THIS POST:
Today we started from learning about culture medium ,the components present then we moved on into culture media and under which we saw about the different types of culture media .hope this post would have been informative if this post helped you do let me know in the comment section below .

HELLO! DOCTOR VANAKAM, I hope you all are doing good today we will be discussing sterilization various methods of sterilization, about dry heat sterilization and moist heat sterilization along with different methods employed, and what are the materials to be placed in this method in detail about autoclave its principle, working and of course uses. As I have had already informed you all through my previous post on the contribution of Louis Pasteur and Koch postulates if we haven't checked it out yet do check it out using this link   https://www.stencildent.com/2020/07/contributions-of-louis-pasteur-and-koch.html  wherein I would explain the importance for the need of the HOUR and always to sterilize things to and from the patients and also get geared up for the next post on SHOCK wherein I would cover the definition, types, classification along with etiology, pathogenesis, flow chart, the complication of septic shock in detail so now without any further ado lets get started. STERILI

                          HYPERSENSITIVITY   hello, doctor vanakam, I hope you all are doing good, as intimated through the last post on anaerobic culture method  https://www.stencildent.com/2020/08/anaerobic-culture-methods-microbiology.html  if u haven't checked it out do read using this link without any further ado lets get started. CONTENTS: 1)Definition 2)Classification 3)type 1 hypersensitivity reaction a)1st exposure b)2nd exposure c)mediators of reaction d)late-phase reaction 4)type 4 hypersensitivity 5)treatment  1)DEFINITION: It refers to a condition in which immune response results in excessive reaction leading to tissue damage, disease, or even death in a sensitised host. 2) CLASSIFICATION: Coomb and gel classification in 1963 into type 1 to 4  Type 1,    type 2, type 3       : They depend on the interaction of antigen with humoral antibodies They are the immediate-type reaction  type 4 : They are mediated by t lymphocyte Delayed-type of hypersensitive reaction 3)TYPE 1
