Description:
Alkaline Peptone Water (CM1028) is for the enrichment of Vibrio cholera and Vibrio species from food, water and clinical samples. This broth can also be used for direct microscopic examination of samples using the hanging drop method.
Alkaline Peptone Water was first formulated by Shre ad, Donovan and Lee 1 to be used as a non-selective enrichment broth for the cultivation of Aeromonas spp. Cruickshank reported that when the pH is raised, the medium can be used to effectively cultivate Vibrio species2. The 2% (w/v) sodium chloride incorporated in this medium promotes the growth of Vibrio cholerae, while the alkalinity of this medium inhibits most of the unwanted background flora.
