Selective medium for isolation of Eikenella corrodens from periodontal lesions

A M Slee et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1978 Oct.

Abstract

The addition of 5 microgram of clindamycin per ml to a modified Todd-Hewitt growth medium permitted the ready enumeration of Eikenella corrodens from deep periodontal lesions because it allowed differential growth amongst the periodontal pocket gram-negative microaerophilic-anaerobic flora, maximized the numbers of E. corrodens in such culture, and inhibited the growth of most of the other confounding microorganisms.
