Abstract

plague

yersinia pestis

isolation

CIN agar

selective

We evaluated Yersinia CIN agar for the isolation of Yersinia pestis from infected fleas. CIN media is effective for the differentiation of Y. pestis from flea commensal flora and is sufficiently inhibitory to other bacteria that typically outcompete Y. pestis after 48. h of growth using less selective media. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
