Abstract

Agar bacteriological nutrient media are suggested, based on soybean extract subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis and lyophilized native. The growth of test strains, number of grown colonies and their size were virtually the same as after inoculation of these strains in control nutrient media. Soybean salt medium with yolk suspension was tried with good results as elective medium for isolation of staphylococci from clinical material. Commercial manufacture of these media mainly from native soybean extract is proposed.
