A medium, originally designed by Stuart and co-workers and later modified by Cary & Blair, for the maintenance and transport, without multiplication, of pathogenic bacteria contained in bacteriological specimens was tested in the laboratory and in the field in Viet-Nam to determine its effectiveness in preserving specimens known to contain Pasteurella pestis.The results indicate that this medium should be useful in diagnostic plague studies in areas where transport facilities are inadequate. Properly collected clinical specimens, sent to a central laboratory by any means and under any climatic conditions likely to be encountered in the hot tropics, should yield viable Pasteurella pestis for at least 30 days.
一种最初由斯图尔特及其同事设计、后经卡里和布莱尔改进的培养基,用于保存和运输细菌学标本中所含的病原菌而不使其繁殖。在越南的实验室和实地对该培养基进行了测试,以确定其对已知含有鼠疫耶尔森菌的标本的保存效果。结果表明,这种培养基在运输设施不足的地区进行鼠疫诊断研究时应会有用。通过任何方式并在热带炎热地区可能遇到的任何气候条件下送往中央实验室的妥善采集的临床标本,应能在至少30天内培养出活的鼠疫耶尔森菌。
