Comparative evaluation of nutrient media of Escherichia coli isolating for using in veterinary laboratories

Abstract

The article is focus on comparative studies of modern differential diagnostic nutrient media for effective cultivation and identification of Escherichia coli. The assessment of the quality of media by biological properties was carried out in accordance with their purpose. Special attention is paid to the new generation of differential diagnostic nutrient media. It was found that the tested media have high productivity and inhibitory properties. New culture media of inland producers are not inferior in terms of the characteristics declared by the manufacturers. In case of methods validation the veterinarian laboratory will be able to use new nutrient media. Key words: nutrient media, Escherichia, productivity, selectivity and specificity
