Growth of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis on selective media

Abstract

As a prelude to experiments designed to evaluate the growth of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis on frozen vacuum-packed venison, we wished to assess the sensitivity of the commonly used selective medium, Yersinia selective agar (YSA) with the added antibiotics cefsu- lodin, irgasan and novobiocin (CIN agar), for recovery and enumeration of this organism⁽¹⁾.
