title: Development of a new selective plating medium for Rhodococcus equi.
abstract: A new selective plating medium for Rhodococcus equi containing ceftazidime (20 mg/l) and novobiocin (25 mg/l) on a Mueller-Hinton agar basis is described. It proved to be less inhibitory for R. equi than selective plating media devised earlier and grew only very few other nocardioform bacteria.
