Tryptic soy-serum-bacitracin-vancomycin
Agar plate medium used in microbiology
Tryptic soy-serum-bacitracin-vancomycin (TSBV) is a type of agar plate medium used in microbiological testing to select for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. a.).[1] It was described by Jørgen Slots in 1982, who also discovered the role of A.a. in periodontitis.[2]
Per litre, TSBV contains:[3]
- 40 g tryptic soy agar
- 1 g yeast extract
- 100 mL horse serum
- 75 mg bacitracin
- 5 mg vancomycin
