Bru SIC: a novel selective medium for the primary isolation of Brucella in veterinary samples

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Farrell’s medium (FM) and CITA medium (CM), recommended for Brucella isolation in animal samples, are inhibitory for certain strains. A reformulated Brucella selective medium (BSM), containing half the CM vancomycin and colistin concentrations, improved the isolation of B. melitensis , but not Brucella abortus bv1.
