FLUID TETRATHIONATE MEDIUM W/O IODINE AND BG (TETRATHIONATE BROTH BASE W/O IODINE & BG) (VEG.)

Fluid Tetrathionate Medium (Veg) is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones by vegetable peptones which makes the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. Veg substitutes, Veg hydrolysate and Veg peptone are used in this medium. Tetrathionate Broth Base (Veg) is the modification of Tetrathionate Broth Base which was originally described by Mueller. He found that the medium selectively inhibited coliforms and permitted unrestricted growth of enteric pathogens.
