Abstract

MacConkey-inositol-potassium tellurite agar was field tested for its ability to selectively enumerate Klebsiella species from the waters of the Saint John River Basin, which include fresh and marine waters. Water temperature varied from 1 to 6 degrees C during the survey period. Results of the study indicated that 77% of the typical colonies on MacConkey-inositol-potassium tellurite medium were Klebsiella species, but the total Klebsiella population enumerated was greatly underestimated.
