Selective Streptococcus Agar is designed for the isolation of group A streptococci from respiratory sources. Roantree, R.J., L.A. Rantz, and E. Haines introduced a medium for isolation of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. The medium enriched with yeast nucleic acid and maltose promoted increased colony size and enhanced clarity and sharpness of hemolytic zones produced by these organisms. Selective Streptococcus Agar is prepared from beef extract and casein peptone, which are relatively free of dextrose, permitting the addition of animal blood to detect hemolytic activity. The incorporation of the antimicrobial agents, neomycin and polymyxin B, provides suppression of normal throat flora for improved recovery of Streptococcus pyogenes.
