Description
Selective and differentiating media consisting of simple chemical components have been developed, both in solid and in liquid form, for culturing Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Nitrofurantoin, in the form of Macrodantin, has been shown to be active against most strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis both in vitro and in clinical infections. Nitrofurantoin is not active against most strains of Proteus species or Serratia species. It has no activity against Pseudomonas species. Therefore, nitrofurantoin incorporated in medium can be used as a selective medium for culturing of Pseudomonas species.
