Isolation of tubercle bacteria using Ogawa egg medium modified by addition of Tween 80. 1978

H Saito, and S Hiramine, and T Watanabe

A modified medium was developed by altering the composition of 3 per cent Ogawa egg medium and adding Tween 80. Isolation of tubercle bacilli using this medium, in general, showed better growth and colines became visible earlier than the original medium, but there was no improvement in the positive rate.

D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
