Medium for bacillus cereus group detection

Abstract

A medium for Bacillus cereus group detection, which is favorable in growth of Bacillus cereus regardless of the temperature condition, and further is excellent in selectivity; and a method for detecting a Bacillus cereus group using the medium. The medium for Bacillus cereus group detection includes a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C substrate having a detectable chromogenic or fluorescent free radical; and trimethoprim. The medium further includes a β-lactam antibiotic. The medium further includes an antifungal agent. The method for detecting further includes inoculating a sample into the medium to culture the sample; and determining a detectable colony on the medium.
