This medium is also known as Cystine Glucose Blood Agar and is the most suitable medium for isolating F.tularensis. Haemoglobin provides additional nutrients and growth factors. This medium also supports growth of gram-negative cocci and other pathogenic microorganisms without additional enrichment. It can be supplemented with Rabbit blood and antimicrobial agents. This medium is a nutritionally rich medium, which may also be used for cultivating many other organisms generally difficult to grow.
