Table 1.
STRAIN | MEDIA | GROWTH | INCUBATIONS | CELL NUMBERS | COUNT POINT |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Staphylococcus epidermidis CIP28.61 |
TSA agar | Aerobic | 37 °C for 24/48 h * 5% CO2 |
1.0 × 107 | 2 h/6 h/24 h/48 h |
Cutibacterium acnes DSM 1897-Type IA |
COS agar | Anaerobic | 37 °C for 48/72 h * 5% CO2 |
1.0 × 107 | 2 h/6 h/24 h/48 h |
* For optimal enumeration, strains were grown in the time period appropriate for that type according to the experience of the microbiology laboratory, and the initial growth media agar was similarly chosen.
