Abstract
Eleven media were studied for their suitability in the selective isolation of Aeromonas hydrophila. Preliminary results showed that five of them (inositol-brilliant green-bile salts agar, bile salts-brilliant green agar, Rimler-Shotts agar, xylose-sodium deoxycholate-citrate agar, and dextrin-fuchsin-sulfite agar) allowed the growth of several microorganisms that are usually present in the same samples in which A. hydrophila is found. Six media (mA agar, modified Rimler-Shotts agar, DNase-toluidine blue-ampicillin agar, Pril-xylose-ampicillin agar, MacConkey-trehalose agar, and starch-bile salts agar) were selected for evaluation as recovery selective media on the basis of their efficiency in the isolation of A. hydrophila from natural water samples. mA agar showed the best recovery rate and also an acceptable specificity, but its selectivity was low. Another medium that can be considered is DNase-toluidine blue-ampicillin agar, which showed good accuracy, but its specificity was low.
