Additional Information for Anaerobic Cna Agar Culture Medium
Anaerobic CNA (Colistin Nalidixic Acid) Agar is a culture medium used for the isolation and cultivation of anaerobic bacteria. It is classified under the supply class "In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits And Sets" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Anaerobic CNA Agar contains colistin and nalidixic acid, which are antibiotics that inhibit the growth of Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, respectively. This selective medium allows for the isolation and identification of anaerobic Gram-positive cocci, such as species of the genera Peptostreptococcus, Finegoldia, and Anaerococcus.
The agar medium is prepared by adding the appropriate amount of colistin and nalidixic acid to a base agar, which provides the necessary nutrients for bacterial growth. The medium is then dispensed into petri dishes or other suitable containers and sterilized.
When used in a laboratory setting, Anaerobic CNA Agar can help in the diagnosis and identification of anaerobic bacterial infections. It is commonly used in clinical microbiology laboratories and veterinary diagnostic facilities.
