TRANSPORT SWABS W/ TRANSPORT MEDIUM AMIES W/O CHARCOAL

TRANSPORT MEDIUM AMIES W/O CHARCOAL is used for transportation and preservation of bacteriological samples, without significant increase in growth. Amies introduced his modification in Stuart?s Transport Medium to trounce the overgrowth of contaminating organisms while carrying faecal specimens. In Stuart?s Transport Medium overgrowth of Shigellae may take place, as they are capable of utilizing glycerophosphate. Amies replaced this component with an inorganic phosphate buffer system.
