The fortuitous finding that Aeromonas spp. grew well on Butzler Campylobacter selective medium (BCSA) in a microaerobic atmosphere at 42 degrees C prompted us to evaluate the performance of BCSA for selective isolation of aeromonads in comparison with ampicillin (30 micrograms/ml) sheep blood agar (ASBA30). Overall recovery rates of aeromonads from 563 stool samples from patients with acute diarrhea were higher on ASBA30 (70.4%) than on BCSA (56.3%); however, 21 (29.5%) grew only on BCSA. The three human-associated Aeromonas spp. could be recovered on BCSA and ASBA30. We recommend the use of BCSA to laboratories reluctant to include a specific selective medium for aeromonads.
气单胞菌属细菌在42摄氏度微需氧环境下于布茨勒弯曲杆菌选择性培养基(BCSA)上生长良好这一偶然发现,促使我们评估BCSA与氨苄青霉素(30微克/毫升)羊血琼脂(ASBA30)相比,对气单胞菌进行选择性分离的性能。在来自急性腹泻患者的563份粪便样本中,气单胞菌在ASBA30上的总体回收率(70.4%)高于BCSA(56.3%);然而,有21株(29.5%)仅在BCSA上生长。三种与人类相关的气单胞菌属细菌在BCSA和ASBA30上均可检出。我们建议,对于不愿为气单胞菌属细菌添加特定选择性培养基的实验室,可使用BCSA。
