Stuart Transport Medium (Transport Medium, Stuart)

Stuart Transport Medium (Transport Medium, Stuart) is recommended for preservation and transportation of Neisseria species and other fastidious organisms from clinic to the laboratory. The medium is chemically defined, semisolid, non-nutrient media, which resists microbial proliferation. Because of this composition, the media ensures that microorganisms present are able to survive for a sufficiently long period of time. The medium provides an adequate degree of anaerobiosis, which is indicated by the redox indicator methylene blue present in the medium.
