The use of selective media in the isolation of Eberthella Typhosa

ABSTRACT

A comparison was made of the value of the following media in the isolation of E. typhosa- MacConkey's Agar, Difco Bismuth Sulphite Agar, Difco S.S. Agar and Tetrathionate Chalk Broth with Brilliant Green in 1 200,000 dilution. The Bismuth Sulphite medium gave the best results, and tetrathionate chalk broth with brilliant green the next best. Direction plating on MacConkey's Agar and on Difco S.S. is not so efficient (Summary)
