Section I:
Bacteroides Bile Esculin Agar (BBE) is recommended for use in the rapid isolation and presumptive identification of Bacteroides fragilis group.

Section II:
Laked Blood with Kanamycin and Vancomycin (LKV) Agar is recommended for use in the selective isolation and partial identification of obligately anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli, such as Prevotella spp. and Bacteroides spp.

Features and Benefits:

• Optically clear polystyrene
  For distortion free viewing.
• Heavy-Duty
  Reduces breakage during shipping.
• Stacking rings
  Polystyrene Petri plates feature raised rings for stacking ability and prevents sliding.
• Breathable Packaging
  Packaged in sleeves of 10 plates in a "breathable" bag that prevents buildup of condensation and excess moisture.

Conclusion

• AnaeroGRO™ media demonstrated superior performance for all strains tested on Brucella, BBE, and LKV. Colonies were larger and more luxuriant, sometimes appreciably so. Larger, more robust colonies can offer a distinct advantage when working with mixed anaerobic cultures. Even when isolating colonies using a stereoscopic microscope, there is a distinct advantage to working with larger colonies.
• Pigment production was slightly more intense on Anaerobe Systems LKV.
• BD and Anaerobe Systems media performed comparably well in this study.
