BS11 identification
The identification of BS11 was carried out using both
conventional methods and the test kit of api
20E and api
50 CHB Medium, bioMérieux, Marcy-I’Etoile, France. The
results were analyzed with the APILAB Plus software. The
organism was confirmed and regularly checked their purity
by following conventional methods, for example, Gram stain-
ing, spore staining, oxidase and catalase tests. Their mor-
phology was investigated under microscopic examination
(Figure 1) and on agar plate. Physiological characteristics
were determined in TSB with various concentrations of salt
(NaCl), with different pH, and temperature. All medium and
chemical solutions were provided by Difco, Sparks, MD,
