Medium for the isolation of Aeromonas hydrophila. 1973

E B Shotts, and R Rimler

A new differential medium, Rimler-Shotts, was tested with 109 isolates representing 13 genera of bacteria obtained from aquatic environments and animals. This medium was effective in presumptive identification of the strains of Aeromonas hydrophila examined, with 94% accuracy. Strains of Citrobacter which were hydrogen sulfide-variable could not be separated from A. hydrophila. This medium was designed to facilitate diagnosis of A. hydrophila infections in animals and humans.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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
D004925	Escherichia	A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria whose organisms occur in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. The species are either nonpathogenic or opportunistic pathogens.
D000333	Aeromonas	A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that occurs singly, in pairs, or in short chains. Its organisms are found in fresh water and sewage and are pathogenic to humans, frogs, and fish.
