Growth of Helicobacter pylori in media containing cyclodextrins.

Immunobiological Research Institute Siena, Italy.

ABSTRACT

We show that solid and liquid media, supplemented only with cyclodextrins and free of blood and its derivatives, support the growth of Helicobacter pylori. These media can be used for primary isolation of the bacteria from biopsy samples, routine laboratory growth, and large-scale industrial fermentation.
