Liquid Stuart

Liquid Stuart is adding the Sodium Glycerophosphate as the reductant-oxidant on the basis of phosphate buffer. It can provide the microbes with a stable pH and hypoxia circumstance, which is ideal for the transportation and preservation of clinic pathogen after sampling, such as Escherichia coli and pyogenic bacillus in the fester, sputum, secretion and so on.

Liquid Amies

Another modified Stuart medium, replaces glycerophosphate with inorganic phosphate, and add calcium and magnesium salts for controlling the permeability of the bacterial cells and so contributing to their survival. This modified medium yielded a higher percentage of positive cultures. The charcoal on the media neutralizes inhibitors and bacterial toxins, and prolong the viability of pathogenic organisms.

Liquid Cary-Blair

Liquid Cary-Blair is another modified Stuart medium, use inorganic phosphate instead of glycerophosphate, and raise the pH to 8.4. The medium was effective in maintaining the viability of Salmonella and Shigella in fecal samples, and prevents bacterial overgrowth by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella aerogenes.
