New, simple medium for selective, differential recovery of Klebsiella spp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A highly selective, differential medium for the enumeration and isolation of Klebsiella spp. was developed. With pure cultures, 100% recovery of Klebsiella spp. was observed. Recovery of Klebsiella spp. on MacConkey-inositol-potassium tellurite (MCIK) agar was as good as or better than on MacConkey-inositol-carbenicillin agar either with pure cultures or environmental samples. Recovery and percent colony confirmation with MCIK agar were greater and easier to obtain than for other proposed Klebsiella selective media.

Description of Leeds Acinetobacter Medium, a new selective and differential medium for isolation of clinically important Acinetobacter spp., and comparison with Herellea agar and Holton's agar.
Acinetobacter spp. are responsible for an increasing number of opportunistic, nosocomial infections. They have been isolated from diverse inanimate objects in the hospital environment and are resistant to most of the commonly used antibiotics. Existing media for the isolation of Acinetobacter spp. are either nonselective, allowing the growth of unwanted bacteria, or too inhibitory, inhibiting t...
متن کاملDifferential and selective medium for isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from stools.
A new differential and selective medium, DYS agar, was developed and evaluated from the isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica. Ther bile salts content of the medium resulted in high selectivity, and inclusion of arabinose, lysine, and arginine rendered Y. Enterocolitica very distinct from Proteus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. DYS medium was more effi...
متن کاملSelective medium for the isolation and enumeration of Klebsiella spp.
A highly selective medium for the enumeration and isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca was developed in which the typical colonies were convex and 1 to 2 mm in diameter. Their pigment was either a mucoid pink-red color or a more watery pale red with a dark red center. Relatively little colonial growth occurred for any other bacterial genera, and where such colonies did grow...
متن کاملPrimary Klebsiella identification with MacConkey-inositol-carbenicillin agar.
MacConkey-inositol-carbenicillin agar has successfully been used as a primary selective medium for Klebsiella enumeration. With pure cultures, nearly 100% recovery of Klebsiella was observed by membrane filtration. With environmental samples using membrane filtration, 95% of typical pink- to red-colored colonies were verified as Klebsiella, as opposed to only 1% of yellow background colonies. R...
