Modified Thayer-Martin medium for recovery of Nocardia species from contaminated specimens.

P R Murray, A C Niles and R L Heeren

Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, Barnes Hospital, Saint Louis, Missouri.

ABSTRACT

Specimens submitted for isolation of Nocardia species are frequently contaminated with other bacteria. Although decontamination with sodium hydroxide or benzalkonium chloride can remove these bacteria, this treatment is also toxic for Nocardia species. We demonstrate that modified Thayer-Martin medium can be used for selective isolation of Nocardia species.
