  • Title: Effect of pyridoxal on growth of nutritionally variant streptococci and other bacteria on sheep blood agar.
    Author: Reimer LG, Reller LB.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 1983 Dec; 1(4):273-5. PubMed ID: 6667606.
    Abstract:
    Supplementation of sheep blood agar with pyridoxal hydrochloride or pyridoxamine dihydrochloride aided recovery of nutritionally variant streptococci; however, it was found to prevent recovery of 6 of 173 (3%) primary isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes and to adversely affect laboratory recognition of other streptococci. Pyridoxal hydrochloride or pyridoxamine dihydrochloride should not be a routine supplement in all sheep blood agar.
