For in vitro diagnostic use.
BM2250 Cooked Meat with Fastidious Anaerobic Broth Overlay is designed for the culture of fastidious anaerobes, particularly Bacteroides and Clostridium species.
Fastidious Anaerobe Broth is formulated from a range of nutrients which have been selected to optimise the recovery and growth
of most anaerobic organisms of clinical importance. The nutritious formulation also allows growth from a small initial inoculum
which can be important for clinical specimens.
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. BM2250 is recommended as part of the clinical process for the investigation of these
infections (1).
BM2250 is also used to cultivate and maintain anaerobic bacteria especially Bacteroides and Clostridium spp.
It can differentiate saccharolytic from proteolytic strains.
Proteolytic organisms cause degradation of the meat granules and blackening of the meat
surface.
