The Effect of the Gas-Phase on Differential Inhibition of Intestinal Bacilli Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: By adjusting the electrolyte content of variously compounded bile-salt media, the growth of coliform bacilli and R forms of intestinal pathogens can be suppressed leaving the S forms of the latter unaffected. Anaerobiosis abolishes the inhibitory effect whereas increased oxygen concentrations enhance it. The degrees of inhibition depend upon the balance of bile salt, electrolyte and oxygen concentration.
