    1. selective agar

      Vancomycin and nalidixin in the F. necrophorum selective agar and AVN agar inhibited the growth of most Gram-positive and many Gram-negative bacteria, which made it considerably easier to detect F. necrophorum colonies compared with the SSI anaerobe agar. Unlike the AVN agar and SSI anaerobe agar, β-haemolysis could be detected directly on the F. necrophorum selective agar, which assisted especially the inexperienced in the detection of F. necrophorum.

      Although not examined directly in this study, the detection of F. necrophorum using non-selective agar, such as the SSI anaerobe agar, took more time than on the F. necrophorum selective agar to arrive at a final result.
