STUART TRANSPORT MEDIUM W/O SODIUM GLYCEROPHOSPHATE

Stuart Transport media was originally designed by Stuart while studying Gonococci. This medium may be used for the transportation of many fastidious organisms including the anaerobes by maintaining organisms? viability without significant multiplication.
This medium is a chemically defined, semisolid, non-nutrient medium which prevent microbial proliferation. Because of this composition the medium ensures that microorganisms present are able to survive for a sufficiently long period of time.

with addition of sodium glycerophosphate, is used for routine transport of Gonococcus species and other fastidious organisms
