Bacteriodes forsythus has been implicated as a possible pathogen in certain destructive periodontal diseases. This species has been extremely difficult to grow in broth, thus hampering its characterization and identification. A broth medium was developed consisting of 30 g of phytone, 10 g of NaCl, and 1 g of filter-sterilized L-cysteine per liter. The medium supported the growth of 23 fresh isolates of B. forsythus from six subjects to optical densities averaging 0.71 +/- 0.20 (standard deviation) at 550 nm after 48 to 72 h of anaerobic incubation.
福赛斯坦纳菌被认为是某些破坏性牙周疾病的可能病原体。该菌种在肉汤中极难生长,因此阻碍了对其特性的描述和鉴定。开发了一种肉汤培养基,每升含有30克植物蛋白胨、10克氯化钠和1克经滤膜除菌的L-半胱氨酸。在厌氧培养48至72小时后,该培养基支持从六个受试者中分离出的23株新鲜福赛斯坦纳菌的生长,在550纳米处的光密度平均为0.71±0.20(标准差)。
