A Further Simplified Procedure for the Detection ofPseudomonas aeruginosain Contaminated Aqueous Substrata

摘要

1A simple method for the detection ofPseudomonas aeruginosain bottled water and aqueous pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations is described.2Subsequent to enrichment in Thomet al.'s (1971) nitrofurantoin broth at 42 °C, streaking positive cultures on to Kinget al.'s (1954) agar with nitrofurantoin added and incubating at 42 °C.3Stabbing colonies intosingle, three 2 cm layer tubes (violet red bile dextrose agar/plain agar/SIM medium) and identifying strains by their non‐fermentative attack on glucose, motility, oxidase reaction and failure to produce H2S or ind
