Evaluation of Thallium Acetate-Citrate Medium for Isolation of Enterococci1

Anthony A. Bulich and Paul A. Hartman

a Department of Bacteriology, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50010

ABSTRACT

Thallous acetate-citrate (TAC) agar, a selective medium for isolating enterococci from frozen foods, was evaluated. Two types of bacteria, micrococci and group N streptococci, were responsible for erroneously high enterococcus counts on TAC agar. Selectivity of the medium was improved by the addition of 0.01% sodium azide.
