It is named after the scientists who developed it, William Thayer and Ida Martin.

Thayer-Martin Agar Culture Medium contains various ingredients that create a selective environment for the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae while inhibiting the growth of other bacteria. These ingredients include antibiotics such as vancomycin, colistin, nystatin, and trimethoprim, which target different types of bacteria and fungi.
