[Use of a protective solution in the inoculation of bacterial cultures].

The influence of the composition of solutions used for growing the bacterial cultures on the survival of microorganisms has been studied. The use of a protective solution, consisting of sodium chloride, orthophosphates, magnium sulfate, and gelatin, for suspensions of bacterial cultures has provided a higher isolation rate of enteric microorganisms, vs. cultivation with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. In evaluating the sensitivity of thioglycol medium test cultures are recommended to be inoculated with the above protective solution.
