[Comparative evaluation of new commercial culture media for isolation of staphylococci].
Comparative trials were carried out new commercial nutrient media made by Russian (Mirogen Research-and-Production Association, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation; State Research Center for Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Obolensk, Serpukhov District, Moscow Region; and I. I. Mechnikov Biomed, Moscow Region; Research Center of Pharmacotherapy, Saint Petersburg) and foreign (NovaMed Ltd, Israel) manufacturers to isolate staphylococci. Their quality was assessed in terms of physicochemical and biological parameters. The test nutrient media provided a good growth of specifically important test staphylococcal strains and inhibited Enterobacteriaceae. The technique of using the traditional inoculum to Petri dish ensures a higher sensitivity and inhibition of nutrient media as compared to that of applying the inoculum to NovaStreak.
