title: Survival of bacteria in four different transportation systems.
abstract: The survival of various bacteria in pure cultures and in mixed suspensions in two Stuart (SBL and Bifok) and one Amies (Securline) transportation systems were compared with the conventional agar slope. Considerable differences were found. Stuart Bifok and Stuart SBL were superior to the other two.
