#CEMO medium for Taylorella culture requires two plates of specialised agar which suppress the growth of contaminants; one plate contains added Streptomycin, the other is without Streptomycin as some strains of Taylorella have been found to be Streptomycin sensitive.

In addition to using these plates for your original inoculation, there are media available which can confirm the identity of an organism such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa that has grown on the standard media initially. Always test your growth media by maintaining known organisms and innoculating the media using normal conditions so that you can be sure that your methods are giving diagnostic results. Alternative methods of identifying an organism include biochemical tests such as oxidase or catalase reactions or latex agglutination tests.
