  • Detection of on growth media
    Patent number: 11814668
    Abstract: To determine the presence of Mycobacterium in an environment, a sample from the environment can be plated onto a growth medium that is selective for Mycobacterium. The agar based growth medium can include a high concentration of crystal violet, in excess of 0.5 ?g/ml. The process may be made further selective for Mycobacterium by treating the sample with sodium dodecyl sulfate containing glycine hydrochloride for at least 4 minutes at room temperature, prior to plating. Mycobacterium colonies will generally appear white while other colonies will generally appear stained purple or another color.
