[Transparent solid nutrient medium for studying the lytic spectrum of bacteriophages of microbes of the genus Bordetella].
A solid, transparent culture medium for the study of the lytic spectrum of the phages, active against B. pertussis and B. bronchiseptica, in respect to homologous and heterologous bacteria of the genus Bordetella has been developed. The Cohen-Wheeler liquid medium with nicotinic acid and nicotinamide added, solidified with agar, is nicotinamide added, solidified with agar, is used as the base of the new medium. This base ensures the growth of B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica. To stimulate the growth of B. pertussis, the tissue stimulant of B. pertussis growth (a transparent substrate obtained from the tissue of the large intestine of a rabbit) has been used. With 10% of this stimulant added, B. pertussis cells have been found to preserve their typical morphological and immunobiological properties.
