A New Nutrient Medium for Diagnostic of Cholera HDS-Agar as a Potential Element of Mobilization Reserve of Specialized Anti-Epidemic Teams
A new nutrient medium for cultivation and isolation of Vibrio cholerae HDS-agar was constructed on basis of the bakery yeast pancreatic digest. The results of laboratory testing of the elaborated medium with the use of 28 Vibrio cholerae strains and approbation on examining the samples of water indicated its advantages as compared to the control alkaline agar and created prerequisites for possible inclusion of this medium into the mobilization reserve of Specialized Anti-Epidemic Team (SAET).
