Selective and differential medium for isolation of Bacteroides ureolyticus from clinical specimens. 1989

Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Sheffield Medical School, UK.

A new selective and differential medium for Bacteroides ureolyticus was compared with other commonly used selective media for anaerobes in a diagnostic trial with routine clinical specimens. All Bacteroides ureolyticus strains grew on nalidixic acid-teicoplaninurea agar, producing red colonies against a straw-coloured background. This medium was found to be the most selective for Bacteroides ureolyticus. In the diagnostic trial with 185 clinical specimens a 20% increase in the isolation rate of Bacteroides ureolyticus was obtained with this new medium.

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
