What is GVPC and why is it added to BCYE?

GVPC is antibiotic supplement added to BCYE for selective isolation of Legionella from contaminated environmental samples (Water systems, biofilms). GVPC contains: Glycine - inhibits gram-positive bacteria, Vancomycin - inhibits gram-positive bacteria, Polymyxin B - inhibits gram-negative bacteria except Legionella, Cycloheximide (anisomycin) - inhibits fungi. This combination suppresses background microflora that would overgrow Legionella. Use BCYE with GVPC for environmental samples. Use BCYE without GVPC for clinical specimens (less contamination, antibiotics may inhibit some Legionella strains).
