Nalidixic acid as a selective agent for the isolation of enterobacteria from river water
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Summary
Enterobacteria are more resistant to nalidixic acid than the majority of other Gram-negative organisms isolated from river water, so allowing their selection on MacConkey agar containing nalidixic acid. Selection is further improved by anaerobic incubation which, with nalidixic acid, virtually eliminates oxidase-positive strains such as Pseudomonas or Aeromonas.
