CHOCOLATE NO. 2 AGAR BASE

Gonococci are fastidious organisms with exacting nutritional and environmental requirements. The cultivation medium for gonococci should ideally be a rich nutrient base with blood, either partially lysed or completely lysed. The diagnosis and control of gonorrhoea have been greatly facilitated by improved laboratory methods for detecting, isolating and studying N. gonorrhoeae. Chocolate No.2 Agar is used for isolation and cultivation of fastidious microorganisms especially Neisseria and Haemophilus species from a variety of clinical specimens. The added supplements provide necessary X factor (from Haemoglobin) and V factor (from Growth Supplement) required by the fastidious organism
