It was described by Jørgen Slots in 1982, who also discovered the role of A.a. in periodontitis.van Steenbergen, TJM. "Comparison of Two Selective Media for Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans ." J Clin Microbiol 1986;24:636–638.
Per litre, TSBV contains:Slots, J. "Selective medium for isolation of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans." J Clin Microbiol 1982;15:606–609. 40 g tryptic soy agar 1 g yeast extract 100 mL horse serum 75 mg bacitracin 5 mg vancomycin
