[Bacteria of the genus Acinetobacter. Methods for their isolation and primary identification]
Abstract
A liquid accumulation medium and a solid isolation medium for primary identification of bacteria of the genus Acinetobacter have been proposed. Both media have identical composition and contain ethanol as the only source of carbon and energy and sodium ammonium phosphate as the source of nitrogen. Besides, the modification of Baumann's medium with sodium acetate as the source of carbon and potassium nitrate as the source of nitrogen has been developed. This modified medium has simplified composition and is not inferior to the above-mentioned media in selectivity, though its use gives less satisfactory results. The two proposed media, both liquid and solid, are recommended for wide use.
