STUART TRANSPORT MEDIUM W/O METHYLENE BLUE

Stuart Transport media were originally designed by Stuart while studying Gonococci. Stuart et al later on modified the Stuart Medium for the transportation of gonococcal specimens for culturing. Ringertz included thioglycollate in the Stuart Medium and omitted charcoal. This medium may be used for the transportation of many fastidious organisms including the anaerobes by maintaining organism’s viability without significant multiplication. Crooks and Stuart suggested the addition of Polymyxin B sulphate which facilitates the recovery of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
