Abstract:
Using the 15 strains of Vibrio eulnificus isolated from the blood and tissue fluid of the patients with primary septicemia, cultural characteristics were studied on various media. The media to be used in culturing Vibrio vulnificus should contain sodium chloride, because it could not survive on the media without NaCl. The organism grew poorly or not at all on the media with eosin-y, methylene blue, crystal violet, or azide, because these substances suppress its growth. Vibrio vulnificus grew well in the enrichment media such as brain heart infusion, tryptic soy broth, and nutrient broth with 0. 5% NaCl.
