The present study evaluated the recovery in vitro of S. mutans ATCC 25175 in seven culture of media: Mitis Salivarius Agar (MSA), Mitis Salivarius Agar-Bacitracin (MSB), Mitis Salivarius Agar-Kanamycin- Bacitracin (MSKB), Mitis Salivarius Agar-Bacitracin-Sulfisoxazole (MS-MUT), Trypticase soy-Extract of yeast-Sucrose-Bacitracin Agar (TYS20B) (media indexed as selective), Infusion Brain Heart Agar (BHI) (enriched medium) y Todd Hewitt Agar (TH) (selective medium for Streptococcus). A bigger recovery of the microorganism was demonstrated in the medium TYS20B, continued in decrease order: BHI, MSA, TH, MS-MUT, MSB and MSKB. The medium TYS20B was the most appropriate for the microorganism; presenting a percentage of significantly more recovery to the other evaluated selective media, coinciding with the other studies in the world for recovery the S.mutans.
