Abstract
TCBS medium has been shown to be as effective as two other widely used and well established media for isolating Vibrio cholerae . This study gives an objective basis for using a simplified isolation method that has already found wide acceptance in a large part of the infected and threatened areas of the world. There are important implications for cholera surveillance.Keywords
