This is a 25ml fill selective medium for the isolation of Actinomyces spp from clinical specimens. Based on Fastidious Anaerobe Agar enriched with 7% Horse Blood, the medium has been made selective by the inclusion of Nalidixic Acid to inhibit most aerobes, particularly gram-negative bacilli, and Metronidazole to suppress other anaerobes.
