| Abstract: | In order to assess the suitability of the Starch glutamate ampicillin penicillin-10C agar for the isolation ofAeromonas spp. from waters it was necessary to compare the properties of this medium with those of three others, Starch ampicillin agar, Ampicillin dextrin agar and m-Aeromonas medium, and to monitor different kinds of waters. A selection of forty eight samples were taken from moderately polluted river water, highly polluted river water, polluted sea water (littoral) and treatment & distribution water and monitored using these media. The results were similar with Ampicillin dextrin agar, m-Aeromonas medium and Starch glutamate ampicillin penicillin-10C, but the simplicity of composition and use and its selectivity recommends the last medium as the most adequate for the isolation ofAeromonas spp.Abbreviations ADA ampicillin dextrin agar - mA m-aeromonas medium - SA starch ampicillin agar - SGAP-10C starch glutamate ampicillin penicillin-10C |
