Can I use TSA, LA, or NA grow Vibrio parahaemolyticus from the cryobeads storage?

27 May 2016 0 9K Report

I have checked the company protocol, which recommends to use such as Blood Agar. But I am curious that is it possible to use more common medium like LA, NA, TSA to regrow these Vibrio? I actually grow them on TSA plate already for 2 days, and don't see any signs of growth at all (at 25 degrees incubation).

Thank you so much
