[New selective agents for the isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa]. 1991

A A Zhurilo

Two new selective media were prepared for the isolation of P. aeruginosa cultures from clinical material: RChZh medium with ramrod inhibitor and Zh medium including a selective complex (hydrazine sulfate, gramurin, ethonium, N-cetylpyridine chloride). The media are characterized by marked selective characteristics, simple to use, contain no unavailable reagents, inexpensive, and easy to prepare.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011550	Pseudomonas aeruginosa	A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.

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
