The basic directions of activity:

1. Improvement of the production technology, quality increase and cost saving of the produced nutrient bases and nutrient media:

  • Dry nutrient medium for plague agent cultivation;
  • Dry nutrient medium for plague agent isolation and cultivation;
  • Dry nutrient medium for detection of plague agent requirement in calcium ions;
  • Dry nutrient medium for isolation and cultivation of Vibrio cholerae (alkaline agar);
  • Bases of dry nutrient medium for Francisella tularensis cultivation;
  • Dry nutrient medium for identification of plague and pseudotuberculosis agents on the basis of carbohydrate and urea fermentation (Color Differential Medium [CDM]);
  • Dry nutrient medium for isolation and differentiation of pseudotuberculosis agent (PDM);
  • Dry nutrient medium for identification of microorganisms by mobility test.

2. Construction of new differential diagnostic media.

Practical opportunities:

The laboratory has the necessary equipment for production of three-five tons of dry nutrient media per year. We produce 60-70 laboratory nutrient mediums of different denominations (agarized and liquid), waterproof packed in glass containers of different volumes (with rubber stoppers and metal caps) for practical public health services.
