Cary-Blair transport medium can be used to transport clinical specimens suspected to contain enteric pathogens, including Shigella, Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae, and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Since this transport medium has a high pH (8.4), the viability of Vibrio cultures can be maintained for a longer duration. Cary-Blair is the medium of choice for the transport and preservation of V. cholerae. | Tankeshwar, A. (2016). Cary-Blair transport medium: Composition, Preparation, Uses • Microbe Online.
