[Identification of microorganisms of the Vibrio genus using the method of sample combination].
In order to apply a more rapid, economic and effective method for the isolation of microorganisms of the genus Vibrio. 400 samples of feces from passengers hospitalized at the "Pedro Kouri" Tropical Medicine Institute, Searching Ward, were processed by the combination method. In this study the feces were grouped in combinations of ten; in this way 40 coprocultures were performed. The isolation was carried on enriching the samples in alkaline peptone at pH 8.6 and subcultures in thiosulfate citrate bile salts sucrose agar were performed.
