when enriched with blood, is a solid medium recommended for use in qualitative procedures for the isolation of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis. Whooping cough is caused by B. pertussis
Bordet – Gengou Agar
-a general-purpose medium for the cultivation of anaerobes, microaerophiles and aerobes, and is recommended as one of the media for sterility testing of biological products. It acts as an enrichment broth which may or may not contain an oxidation indicator, resazurin, widely used in diagnostic bacteriology
Thioglycollate Broth
selective for gramnegative bacteria against gram-positive bacteria. In addition, is useful in isolation and differentiation of the various gram-negative bacilli and enteric bacilli, generally known as coliforms and fecal coliforms respectively
