Evaluation of three differential media for detection of Enterobacter agglomerans (Erwinia herbicola). 1982

C Bucher, and A von Graevenitz

Dextrin-fuchsine-sulfite medium (DFS), Rimler-Shotts agar (RS), and a new lysine-ornithine-mannitol agar (LOM) were tested for detection of Enterobacter agglomerans. In human stools, LOM and DFS were most sensitive at coliform-to-E. agglomerans ratios of less than or equal to 10(2) and E. agglomerans inocula of greater than 10(2) per plate. Both LOM and DFS detected one strain in 254 stools, but RS proved to be inhibitory.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008239 Lysine An essential amino acid. It is often added to animal feed. Enisyl,L-Lysine,Lysine Acetate,Lysine Hydrochloride,Acetate, Lysine,L Lysine
D008353 Mannitol A diuretic and renal diagnostic aid related to sorbitol. It has little significant energy value as it is largely eliminated from the body before any metabolism can take place. It can be used to treat oliguria associated with kidney failure or other manifestations of inadequate renal function and has been used for determination of glomerular filtration rate. Mannitol is also commonly used as a research tool in cell biological studies, usually to control osmolarity. (L)-Mannitol,Osmitrol,Osmofundin

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
