A selective medium was developed for the isolation of Bacteroides fragilis directly from ovine
and bovine fecal samples. The medium (tryptose blood agar plus polymyxin B, triclosan
(Irgasan), novobiocin, and nalidixic acid) permitted growth of B. fragilis and several other
species of Bacteroides but inhibited growth of most other intestinal bacteria.
