note: - 5% sheep blood is used in blood agar plates, which is a bacterial growth medium. Human

blood contains antibodies which can prevent growth of many bacteria, thus sheep blood is used.

for hemolytic activity test of a strain, only sheep blood agar must be used.

also it is used in microbiology/bacteriology/toxicology/biochemistry/biotechnology/immunology labs

for the desired experimentation of bacterial culture. This medium (sheep blood agar) is both

differential and enriched medium and used for the isolation, cultivation and detection of hemolytic

activity of fastidious microorganisms (have complex nutritional requirement) like streptococci, and pneumococci etc.
