ALKALINE PEPTONE WATER (pH 8.0)

Clinical materials containing small numbers of Vibrio should be inoculated into an enrichment medium prior to plating onto a selective medium, such as TCBS Agar. Alkaline Peptone Water is a suitable enrichment broth for this purpose. The relatively high pH of the medium (approximately 8.4) provides a favorable environment for the growth of Vibrio’s. This medium is recommended by APHA for enrichment of Vibrio species from seafood, infectious materials and other clinical specimens such as faeces.
