Blood agar base No. 2 is a general-purpose medium enriched with various concentrations of horse or sheep blood and is suitable for the isolation of most organisms including many fastidious anaerobes of clinical significance.

Haemolysis observations may vary with the type of blood being used. Previous studies have shown that sheep blood provides the most reliable colony and haemolysis characteristics.

The peptone, yeast extract and liver digest act as nitrogen, carbon and vitamin sources in this medium. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance.

Used for the isolation of most organisms including many fastidious anaerobes of clinical significance.
