Improved selective isolation of Bordetella pertussis by modified cyclodextrin solid medium. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
J Clin Microbiol 2009 Oct 21.

We have developed a modified cyclodextrin solid (MCS) medium using the selective antibiotic, cefdinir. MCS medium exhibited higher sensitivity (95.6%: any culture positive as reference) and greater inhibition of nasopharyngeal flora than Bordet-Gengou agar (65.2%, P = 0.009) or cyclodextrin solid medium (39.1%, P < 0.001).
