title: Refined medium for direct isolation of Vibrio vulnificus from oyster tissue and seawater.
abstract: We have developed a new medium for the direct isolation of Vibrio vulnificus from water and oyster samples. The medium was shown in laboratory and field studies to be highly selective without providing preferential isolation of either V. vulnificus genotype.
