Description

Isolate, differentiate and enumerate Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma spp. with a nutritious media that includes antibiotics which inhibit most interferring bacteria and yeasts.

Detect, isolate, differentiate and enumerate Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma species mainly from urogenital specimens. Find clarity with an antibiotic mixture in the medium that inhibits most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as yeasts, which might be present in patient specimens. On Thermo Scientific™ Mycoplasma / Ureaplasma Agar, the colorless colonies of Mycoplasma hominis form the typical fried egg appearance (growth density-dependent). Colonies of Ureaplasma urealyticum are dark-brown and grow in typical sea urchin morphology.

Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma species are parasites on the surface of human and animal epithelium cells. Because some metabolic pathways are missing they are completely dependent on their hosts which deliver them the essential growth factors. So besides the rich peptone base, the medium includes the necessary nutrients (Vitox, cystein, yeast extract, urea and horse serum) which are in vivo offered by the host. U. urealyticum metabolizes urea which results in a pH shift to alkaline conditions. Therefore, manganese sulphate is oxidised into manganese oxide which is incorporated by U. urealyticum giving the dark brown color to the colonies. The pH shift leads to the color shift of the pH indicator phenol red. As a consequence the medium around the Ureaplasma colonies turns from yellow into red.
