Haemophilus influenzae requires both factors X and V; accordingly, it grows on chocolate agar but not on blood agar (Fig. 30-2), although it may appear on a blood agar plate as tiny satellite colonies around the colonies of other bacteria that have lysed red blood cells.

Bacteremia can lead to any of the above illnesses or to sepsis, a dangerous whole-body response to infection. Sepsis can damage many organs or even cause death if not treated right away. Despite its name, Hib doesn't cause influenza (the flu).

In general, as environmental conditions become less favorable, the pattern of growth in a colony becomes more complex [4]. Two of the main factors that affect bacterial growth in a laboratory are media nutrient density and media hardness, the latter being a result of agar concentration.

Most clinical material can be held for several hours in a refrigerator before culturing if it cannot be processed immediately. This is particularly true with the following specimen types: urine, sputum, and material on swabs taken from a variety of sources. DO NOT refrigerate body fluids such as CSF or blood.

Violet Red Bile Agar is a selective medium used to detect and enumerate lactose-fermenting coliform microorganisms. ... The medium contains bile salts and crystal violet which serve as inhibitory agents toward some gram-positive microorganisms, especially staphylococci. Neutral red is employed as the pH indicator.
