Evaluation of selective media for enumeration of group D streptococci in bovine feces

Appl Microbiol. 1974 Dec;28(6):1086-7. doi: 10.1128/am.28.6.1086-1087.1974.

Abstract

Eight commercially available selective media were evaluated by the membrane filter technique. Enterococcosel broth (BBL) consistently gave the best recovery of group D streptococci, particularly of Streptococcus bovis.
