Abstract
Medium m-CP, designed for the isolation of Clostridium perfringens from water samples, contains indoxyl β-D-glucoside, an expensive chemical that is present at a high concentration in this medium. The use of m-CP with three concentrations of indoxyl β-D-glucoside was tested at 0, 60, and 600 mg/L. Lowering the amount of indoxyl β-D-glucoside to 60 mg/L (1/10 the recommended concentration) reduced the cost of this medium without affecting its sensitivity.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
