Abstract
The field of the invention is the analysis of target microorganisms in a complex sample. The present invention more particularly relates to a culture medium for the detection of at least one target microorganism including: at least one natural or synthetic fermentation or enzymatic activity substrate, and at least one selective agent, which inhibits non-target microorganisms, constituted by para-amino benzoic acid, one of its derivatives or one of their salts, at a concentration of between 0.05 and 1 g/L.
Claims11
A culture medium for the detection of at least one target microorganism including:
- at least one natural or synthetic fermentation or enzymatic activity substrate, and
- at least one selective agent, constituted by para-amino benzoic acid, one of its derivatives or one of their salts, at a concentration between 0.05 and 1 g/L.
A method comprising:
- detecting In vitro at least one target microorganism by a culture medium as selective agent containing para-amino benzoic acid, one of its derivatives or one of their salts.
