Popis: SUMMARY— Liquid cultures of several strains of Clostridium perfringens type A were diluted with phosphate buffer and enumerated on laboratory-prepared sulfite-polymyxin-sulfa-diazine (SPS) agar, four lots of commercial SPS agar, and on non-selective media. Recoveries on laboratory-prepared SPS agar and on one lot of commercial SPS agar were the same as on non-selective media. Recoveries on three commercial lots of SPS agar were significantly lower. Replacement of phosphate buffer with 0.1% peptone allowed quantitative recoveries of C. perfringens on three out of four lots of commercial SPS agar, irrespective of whether the cells were grown in liquid cultures or on meat and meat products.
