Description

Isolate and presumptively identify Candida species with this selective medium.

Isolate and presumptively identify Candida species with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ BiGGY Agar (Nickerson Medium) (Dehydrated). BiGGY, Bismuth Sulphite Glucose Glycine Yeast Agar, is based on the formulation developed by Nickerson1 and is a highly selective medium inhibiting most of the competing flora.

Serious infections due to Candida species are becoming increasingly prevalent. This poses particular problems because of the increasing incidence of non-albicans spp. and the emergence of non-albicans isolates resistant to both amphotericin B and the newer azoles2.

Use BiGGY Agar for isolation and identification of the Candida species.

  • Selective: the presence of bismuth sulphite complex in the medium confers a high degree of selectivity to the medium, and most strains of bacteria are inhibited on BIGGY Agar.
  • Can be used for the isolation and presumptive identification of Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis from sputum3,4 and vaginal smears5
  • Recommended medium for the quality assessment of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products6
