title: Successful re-evaluation of broth medium T for growth of Francisella tularensis ssp. and other highly pathogenic bacteria.
abstract: Pavlovich's medium T was compared with other broadly used media and extensively checked by growth of various subspecies of Francisellatularensis as well as other risk group 3 bacteria. The medium was successfully re-evaluated as an optimal liquid medium suitable for enrichment of fastidious and/or highly pathogenic bacteria.
