A selective medium for Bacillus anthracis.
نویسنده
چکیده
A selective medium that allows for growith of Bacillus anthracis while inhibiting common contaminants and closely related sporeformers (e.g., Bacillus cereus) is described. This medium contains polymyxin, lysozyme, dLsodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate, and thallous acetate as the selective ingredients. It may also be used as a differential medium to distinguish B. anthracis from A. cereus and may be of value in the classification of Bacillus species.

Effect of Hematin on the Recovery of Bacillus Anthracis and Related Organisms.
Freshly prepared alkaline hematin inhibits the growth of many Grampositive organisms, including Bacillus anthracis; Gram-negative organisms, however, are generally not inhibited. Work on a selective medium for isolating B. anthracis that does not contain hematin as a selective ingredient is in progress.
متن کاملSelective medium for Bacillus anthracis.
A need has existed for a selective medium that allows for growth of Bacillus anthracis while inhibiting common contaminants and closely related sporeformers (e.g., B. cereus). A selective medium (PLET medium) was developed containing the following ingredients added to Difco Heart Infusion Agar (HIA): polymyxin, 30 units/ml; lysozyme, 40 ,ug/ml; disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), 300 ,...
متن کاملRuling Out Bacillus anthracis
Optimization of methods for ruling out Bacillus anthracis leads to increased yields, faster turnaround times, and a lighter workload. We used 72 environmental non-B. anthracis bacilli to validate methods for ruling out B. anthracis. Most effective were the use of horse blood agar, motility testing after isolates had a 2-h incubation in trypticase soy broth, and screening isolates with a B. anth...
متن کاملDetermination of anthrax foci through isolation of Bacillus anthracis form soil samples of different regions of Iran
To isolate and detect anthrax spores form soil in different regions of Iran in order to find the anthrax foci‚ a total of 668 environmental specimens were collected during 2003-2004. Bacterial endospores were extracted from soil specimens via flotation in distilled water, incubation at room temperature, filtration, heat shock and culture on blood agar and selective PLET media. Bacillus anthraci...

To isolate and detect anthrax spores from soil in different regions of Isfahan, Iran a total of 60 environmental specimens were collected during 2003. Bacterial endospores were extracted via flotation in distilled water and were cultured on blood agar and selective PLET media. Bacillus anthracis was identified using bacteriological and biological tests. Viable Bacillus anthracis spores were iso...
