Specialty media, also known as specialized or selective media, are designed to support the growth, isolation, and identification of specific types of microorganisms. These media contain components that encourage the growth of certain organisms while inhibiting the growth of others. Specialty media play a critical role in microbiological diagnostics, research, and biotechnology by providing a controlled environment for the selective growth and identification of specific microorganisms. Their composition is tailored to meet the unique nutritional requirements and characteristics of the target organisms.
