Definition

Columbia CNA Agar (Columbia Colistin Nalidixic Acid Agar) is a selective and differential medium for gram-positive bacteria. It can be supplemented with 5% of sheep blood.

It contains two antibiotics, Colistine and Nalidixic Acid, which inhibit the growth of gram-negative bacteria, thus selecting for gram-positive organisms.
