Abstract
To Hadley''s tomato juice agar is added 1-10,000 of 1% Na azide (practical grade, Eastman Kodak ). This offers a selective medium with no inhibition of oral lactobacilli and excellent suppression of yeasts, molds, micrococci, streptococci, and other contaminants which confuse the counts from the tomato-juice medium alone.Keywords
