Introduction of Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salts Sucrose (TCBS) Agar Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera and Thiosulfate Citrate bile salts sucrose (TCBS) agar a selective as well as differential culture medium used for selective isolation of this bacterium including its species from a variety of clinical and nonclinical specimens. TCBS agar has a very high pH (8.5-9.5) which suppresses growth of intestinal flora other than Vibrio spp. The bile salts inhibit growth of gram-positive microorganisms. Vibrio spp. produce either yellow or green colonies...
