New selective medium for selection of bifidobacteria from human feces.
This work reports an alternative selective medium for reliable and efficient isolation of human fecal bifidobacteria. It uses a base commercially available, does not need pH adjustment and can be autoclaved with its additives. It provides a useful alternative for fecal bifidobacteria isolation.
