A SELECTIVE MEDIUM FOR BACILLUS ANTHRACIS

Abstract

A selective medium that allows for growth of Bacillus anthracis while inhibiting common contaminants and closely related spore formers (e.g., Bacillus cereus) is described. This medium contains polymyxin, lysozyme, disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate, and thallous acetate as the selective ingredients. It may also be used as a differential medium to distinguish B. anthracis from B. cereus and may be of value in the classification of Bacillus species.
