KM0006 Fastidious Anaerobe Agar is a general-purpose medium, when supplemented with blood and any necessary selective agents, can be used for the isolation and culture of fastidious anaerobes from clinical specimens.
Anaerobic infections are common infections caused by anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria occur naturally and are the most common flora in the body; in their natural state, they do not cause infection. Anaerobic bacteria can infect deep wounds, tissue, and internal organs where there is little oxygen after injury or surgery. Infection by anaerobic bacteria is normally characterized by formation of abscesses, foul smelling discharge, pus, and free gas in tissue, leading to tissue degradation.
KM0006 is recommended as a standard, primary isolation or supplementary medium by the UK Standards for Microbiology Investigations and tested in accordance with the principles of ISO 11133:2014.
