Comparative studies of selective media for recovery of Staphylococcus aureus from natural waters.

Several selective media currently used for the enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus from different sources were evaluated in order to establish their quantitative recovery, specificity and degree of selectivity, using different types of water samples. The highest selectivity and reliability in the enumeration of Staph. aureus from the samples was obtained on Borrego-Florido-Romero-0 (BFR-0) and KRANEP agars. The method that produced the highest recovery of Staph. aureus was BFR-0 agar with membrane filter and incubation at 36 degrees C for 48-72 h.
