Abstract:

The American prepared culture medium has shown itself in tests conducted up to this point as a poor medium for cultivating, and therefore also for the detection, of bacteria. This negative result is probably due to the age of the material tested. A final statement as to its suitability or unsuitability is therefore possible only after testing material of most recent manufacture. The US vacuum pump used in conjunction with the Impinger effect is well suited for taking air samples. The identification of aerified bacteria Serratia marcescens was accomplished satisfactorily.
