Abstract

A new triple-sugar iron agar (TSI) medium has been developed which gives more satisfactory reactions, that is, reactions which are more clear-cut for acid and gas, and more sensitive for H2S than Kligler''s iron agar medium now in general use for differentiating enteric pathogens. The formula for the TSI medium is given.
