[Detection of Bacillus larvae in mixed populations of bacterial spores from larval remains]
1Comisión de Investigaciones Científicas de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Abstract:
An accurate laboratory technique for the detection of Bacillus larvae from larval remains of Apis mellifera with mixed bacterial spore populations was developed. The incorporation of nalidixic acid to the culture medium (3 micrograms/ml) was a satisfactory procedure for the separation of Bacillus larvae strains from Bacillus alvei motile colonies.
