Description

Description: A pre-poured 90 mm agar plate pack (10 per pack), specially designed to isolate and cultivate Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough) and Bordetella parapertussis from nasal swab samples.

  • A charcoal-enriched agar base, which supports Bordetella growth and neutralizes fatty acids that inhibit it.
  • Cephalexin (40 mg/L), plus M&B 938 (12 µg/mL) to suppress unwanted bacteria, like coliforms and antibiotic-resistant strains.
  • Defibrinated horse blood, enhancing growth and helping differentiate colonies.
  • Black, opaque plates (fill weight ~17 g, pH ~7.5).
Key Benefits: 
Selective isolation – designed to favour Bordetella while inhibiting most other bacteria and fungi

High recovery rate – charcoal plus antibiotics improves detection of stressed or low-level organisms.

 

Ready-to-use convenience – no prep needed; just allow to reach room temperature from refrigerator and incubate.
 
Applications:
  • Clinical microbiology labs.
  • Diagnostic testing for whooping cough.
  • Research on Bordetella species.

Storage Instructions:

  • Store refrigerated at 2–12 °C in the dark.
  • Do not freeze.
  • Allow plates to reach room temperature before use.
