Tryptic soy-serum-bacitracin-vancomycin

TSBV is the acronym for tryptic soy-serum-bacitracin-vancomycin, a type of agar plate medium used in microbiological testing to select for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.).^[1] It was described by Jørgen Slots in 1982, who also discovered the role of A.a. in periodontitis.^[2]

Per liter, TSBV contains:^[3]
