Abstract
Several selective media currently used for the enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus from different sources were evaluated in order to establish their quantitative recovery, specificity and degree of selectivity, using different types of water samples. The highest selectivity and reliability in the enumeration of Staph. aureus from the samples were obtained on Borrego-Florido-Romero-0 (BFR-0) and KRANEP agars. The method that produced the highest recovery of Staph. aureus was BFR-0 agar with membrane filter and incubation at 36.degree. C for 48-72 h.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
