Recommended for enrichment of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and marine isolates. It is recommended by BIS committee under the specifications IS:5887 (Part V)-1976, Reaffirmed 2005.
Glucose Salt Teepol Broth (Twin pack) is recommended for enrichment of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and marine isolates. It is recommended by BIS committee under the specifications IS:5887 (Part V)-1976, Reaffirmed 2005. Peptone and HM extract provide essential carbonaceous, nitrogenous compounds, long chain amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients required for growth. High percentage of sodium chloride (3%) helps for the better enrichment of halophilic Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Teepol inhibits the migration of halophilic organisms and the growth of the gram-positive organisms. Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus grows luxuriantlly on this medium.
