Results for those Pseudomonas strains isolated on the selective agars after incubation in cetrimide broth or fluid soybean-casein digest medium are reported in Tables 1 through 4. The method of primary enrichment of microorganisms in nonselective media has been advocated (11), and our work appears to support this recommendation. Nalidixic acid-cetrimide agar has been used for the isolation of P. aeruginosa (6, 13). However, our results show little or no difference in the number of strains isolated when nalidixic acid-cetrimide agar was used, irrespective of whether primary enrichment was performed in cetrimide broth or fluid soybeancasein digest medium. The use of Dettol agar has been preferred to cetrimide-containing agars for the isolation of P. aeruginosa (7). Our results indicate that more Pseudomonas strains were detected on Dettol agar than with the other three selective agars after primary enrichment in fluid soybean-casein digest medium. Many of the strains detected on the four selective agars belonged to group I in Bergey's classification. Occasionally P. acidivorans (group II), P. synxantha (addenda), and P. fragi (addenda) were detected on the isolating agars, but only after primary incubation had been carried out in fluid soybean-casein digest medium. None of these organisms was isolated after primary incubation had been performed in cetrimide broth. P. aeruginosa NCTC 7244, P. stutzeri, P. pseudoalcaligenes, P. cepacia, P. lemoignei, P. testosteroni, P. facilis, P. acidivorans, P. maltophilia, P. diminuta, Pseudomonas sp. NCIB 2581, and Pseudomonas sp. NCIB 886 were never isolated on any of the four selective media. Calculated variance ratio F(5%) = (critical value F5% = 3.2) indicated that there is a significant difference among the four selective agars for the isolation of Pseudomonas strains. However, calculated variance ratio F(5%) = 3.35 (critical value F5% = 3.59) indicated that there is a small but not significant difference in the overall effect of increasing incubation times of the selective agars. Therefore, since pseudomonads and in particular P. aeruginosa have been isolated from contaminated pharmaceutical products (12), and, in addition to P. aeruginosa, the presence of other pseudomonads (e.g., P. putida, P. multivorans, P. maltophilia, and P. synxantha) is considered objectionable in nonsterile pharmaceutical products (2-4), it is essential that suitable microbial tests be available in order that a reproducible quality control procedure may be Downloaded from on May 12, 218 by guest
6 1214 NOTES adopted for the determination of these organisms. Fluid soybean-casein digest medium is a nonselective medium and appears to be more suitable for promoting the initial growth of Pseudomonas strains than the selective cetrimide broth. Whereas none of the four selective agars tested appeared to be suitable for the isolation of these organisms, recent work (9) indicates the inhibition ofpseudomonas species on selective agars that are recommended for the isolation of these organisms, and therefore, in our opinion, the use of selective media for the isolation of small numbers of pseudomonads must be regarded with caution. We thank K. McKelvie of the Department of Mathematics, Liverpool Polytechnic, for his help with the statistical analysis of the results. LITERATURE CITED 1.
