PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a culture medium enabling the simple and quick detection of thermophilic Clostridium bacteria which are deterioration indicator bacteria for retort can drink products, and to provide a specimen inoculation method for enhancing the detection sensitivity of the bacteria. SOLUTION: This culture medium for detecting the thermophilic Clostridium bacteria is characterized by preliminarily adding neutral red, corn starch and pyruvic acid or a pyruvate. The proliferation of the thermophilic Clostridium bacteria can be confirmed by the change in the color of the culture medium, and the bacteria can easily discriminated in a short time. The bacteria can highly sensitively be detected by mixing a specimen with an anaerobic bacterium detection culture medium held in an anaerobic state. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
