A comparison of horse, cow, and sheep blood in NYC medium: effect on recovery of N. gonorrhoeae and urogenital mycoplasmas

Abstract

NYC medium supplemented with cow blood (NYC-C) and sheep blood (NYC-S) were tested for the growth of N. gonorrhoeae and urogenital mycoplasma in comparison with standard NYC medium which contains horse blood. In situations where horse blood is not available, cow blood could be substituted in NYC standard medium, whereas the use of sheep blood was found unsuitable.
