BD 221568 Agar Plate Thayer-Martin Modified MTM II

The BD 221568 Agar Plate is a specialized microbiological medium designed for use in clinical, laboratory, and research settings. This modified Thayer-Martin agar plate, known as MTM II, is specifically formulated to isolate and cultivate Neisseria species, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Its standout benefit lies in its selective and differential properties, which inhibit the growth of unwanted bacteria while allowing the target organisms to thrive, making it an essential tool for diagnosing gonococcal infections.

This agar plate is an important tool in microbiology labs, where it plays a crucial role in the isolation, cultivation, and identification of specific bacterial species. The modified Thayer-Martin agar is enriched with antibiotics and other selective agents that suppress the growth of contaminants, allowing for the isolation of Neisseria species from clinical specimens. The MTM II agar plate supports the growth of these fastidious organisms, enabling laboratory personnel to accurately diagnose and confirm the presence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other related species.
