This is one of two media generally used for the selective isolation of Bordetella pertussis. The medium is made selective by the inclusion of cephalexin, to suppress the unwanted naso-pharyngeal flora often present in specimens submitted for the isolation of Bordetella pertussis, and further enriched with 10% horse blood.
NB: Although coliforms are inhibited by this medium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and some fungi will grow.
