Magnified 100x, this 1977 photograph depicted a Petri dish filled with heart infusion agar medium containing 5% defibrinated rabbit blood, i.e., blood agar plate (BAP). After having been inoculated, using the "stab" technique using a culture of Streptococcus anginosus bacteria, of the Gram-positive viridans group of streptococci (VGS), the BAP was incubated in a carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere at 35oC for 24 hours. The culture grew bacterial colonies around the stab site, surrounded by what is known as "wide zone alpha hemolytic" (WZα) color changes. Characteristics of WZα reactivity are described as, "the area immediately adjacent to the colony has some red blood cells (RBCs), but an area outside of that may be completely, or nearly completely, cleared of RBCs. Therefore, there are no reactive zones where "complete" RBC hemolysis has occurred, as in the case in beta-hemolytic reactions, hence the Wide Zone "alpha" terminology.Created: 1977

Magnified 100x, this 1977 photograph depicted a Petri dish filled with heart infusion agar medium containing 5% defibrinated rabbit blood, i.e., blood agar plate (BAP). A loop of diluted culture of Streptococcus anginosus was put into the melted agar (50oC) just before the blood was added to the melted agar. The agar was allowed to solidify, and then incubated at 35oC for 24 hours in a normal atmosphere. The culture grew subsurface bacterial colonies, one of which is seen here, surrounded by what is known as "wide zone alpha hemolytic" (WZα) color changes. Characteristics of WZα reactivity are described as, "the area immediately adjacent to the colony has some red blood cells (RBCs), but an area outside of that may be completely, or nearly completely, cleared of RBCs.

After having been inoculated with a culture of Streptococcus anginosus bacteria, of the Gram-positive viridans group of streptococci (VGS), the BAP was incubated in a carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere at 35oC for 24 hours. In this view, one can see numbers of growing "surface" colonies surrounded by what is known as "wide zone alpha hemolytic" (WZα) color changes.

Magnified 10x, this image depicted a Petri dish filled with heart infusion agar medium containing 5% defibrinated rabbit blood, i.e., blood agar plate (BAP). After having been inoculated using both a streak and stab technique with a culture of Streptococcus anginosus bacteria, of the Gram-positive viridans group of streptococci (VGS), the BAP was incubated in a carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere at 35oC for 24 hours. In this view, one can see numbers of growing "surface" and "stab" colonies surrounded by what is known as "wide zone alpha hemolytic" (WZα) color changes.

Magnified 100x, this 1977 photograph depicted a Petri dish filled with trypticase soy agar medium containing 5% defibrinated sheep's blood, i.e., blood agar plate (BAP). After having been inoculated, using a stab technique, with alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus anginosus bacteria, i.e., a member of the Gram-positive viridans group of streptococci (VGS), the BAP was incubated in a carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere at 35oC for 24 hours. The culture grew bacterial colonies. In this view, one can see numbers of colonies that were growing at the edge of the stab, surrounded by the characteristic color changes, i.e., a hazy, faded, and indistinct region in which some of the red blood cells (RBCs) were destroyed in the blood agar medium, or "hemolyzed", indicating that these bacteria were indeed alpha-hemolytic in nature.Created: 1977
