TCBS Agar - Composition, Principle, Preparation, Results, Uses

Thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose (TCBS) Agar, is a type of selective agar that is used in microbiology laboratories to isolate Vibrio species. TCBS Agar can be used to cultivate Vibrio cholerae from clinical specimens or other materials. Kobayashi et. al. developed TCBS Agar, which modified the Nakanishi selective medium. This medium was originally intended to isolate V. cholerae from V. parahaemolyticus. However, Vibrios can grow healthy colonies with many different colonial morphologies.
