Description |
BPRM (Bacteroides Phage Recovery Medium) was formulated according the specifications by the Microbiology Department of the Barcelona University. Tartera and cols. verified its efficiency in the Bacteroides fragilis phage recovery used as human fecal pollution indicators in environmental samples. Initially Kanamycin (100 mg/L) and Vancomycin (7,5 mg/L) were added to the medium to prevent the growth of unwanted accompanying bacteria, but later the Vancomycin was replaced by Nalidixic acid (100 mg/L). BPRM Basal Broth can be used in double strengh and, with the addition of adequate amounts of agar, in the preparation of solid or semisolid media |
