Enhancement of Ureaplasma urealyticum growth on a differential agar medium (A7B) by a polyamine, putrescine.

M C Shepard, R S Combs
PMCID: PMC273297  PMID: 521491

Abstract

Growth of Ureaplasma urealyticum isolates from clinical exudates and urine specimens was significantly improved by supplementation of a Ureaplasma differential agar medium by putrescine. The improved medium was designated medium A7B.
