Question
You are preparing a growth medium for an isolate that you obtained from a patient. You are adding yeast extract, glucose, peptones, malt extract, and ampicillin. Which kind of medium are you preparing?ANSWERDefined and differentialDefined and selectiveComplex and differentialComplex and selective
Solution
You are preparing a Complex and Selective medium.
The ingredients listed (yeast extract, glucose, peptones, malt extract) are all components of a complex medium, which is a medium where the exact chemical constitution is not known.
The addition of ampicillin makes the medium selective, as it allows only certain types of bacteria (those resistant to ampicillin) to grow.
