Selectively isolate pathogenic Vibrio species with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ TCBS (Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salts Sucrose) Cholera Medium (Dehydrated).

The medium has shown to be the most satisfactory and reproducible formula regardless of the complex composition1. Unlike Lauryl Sulphate Tellurite Agar it does not require further additives or aseptic additions of blood. It also possesses superior growth characteristics for Vibrio species, compared with tellurite media. While inhibiting non-vibrios, it promotes rapid growth of pathogenic vibrios after overnight incubation at 35°C.
