Abstract
SUMMARY: Aeromonashas recently been recognized as an important enteropathogen. In faecal specimens the organism is readily identified and differentiated from coliforms by the positive oxidase reaction. However, few media have proved useful for foods and environmental specimens. Bile salts brilliant green starch agar (BBGS) was studied for this purpose by testing artificially contaminated foods as well as natural potential sources. The results indicate the suitability of the medium for the isolation ofAeromonasfrom foods and from environmental sources.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
