The TSI slant is a test tube that contains agar, a pH-sensitive dye , 1% lactose, 1% sucrose, 0.1% glucose, [2] and sodium thiosulfate and ferrous sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate. All of these ingredients are mixed together, heated to sterility, and allowed to solidify in the test tube at a slanted angle.
Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria can be identified by growing them in test tubes of thioglycolate broth: 1: Obligate aerobes need oxygen because they cannot ferment or respire anaerobically.
A TSI slant is often used to distinguish nonfermenting Pseudomonas species from enteric pathogens in faecal specimens. [citation needed] When P. aeruginosa is isolated from a normally sterile site (blood, bone, deep collections), it is generally considered dangerous, and almost always requires treatment.
A slant is prepared by adding the heated agar to a test tube and allowing it to solidify at a slanted angle. To transfer cells from a sample to the agar, a sterilized needle is used to select a distinct colony from the sample and to streak across the agar surface, as is done on an agar plate.
Mueller Hinton agar is a type of growth medium used in microbiology to culture bacterial isolates and test their susceptibility to antibiotics. This medium was first developed in 1941 by John Howard Mueller and Jane Hinton, who were microbiologists working at Harvard University.

A clear CLED agar plate after cultivation Colonies of lactose and non-lactose fermenting bacteria on CLED agar. CLED agar (cystine–lactose–electrolyte-deficient agar or medium) is a valuable non-inhibitory growth medium used in the isolation and differentiation of urinary microbes.
