Directions
Suspend 35.65 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense into tubes with inverted Durhams tubes as required, taking into account the volume of sample to be tested. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
Lauryl Sulphate Broth was formulated by Mallmann and Darby (1) and is recommended by APHA for the detection and enumeration of coliform organisms in foods, water and wastewater (2,3). MUG is added in Lauryl Sulphate Broth as the fluorogenic compound which permits the rapid detection of Escherichia coli when observed under UV light where further confirmation is not required (4,3). MUG detects anaerogenic strains which may not be detected in the conventional procedure. Feng and Hartman (5) used MUG-containing medium for studying ß-glucuronidase activity and found Escherichia coli has 96-100% activity, Salmonella species with 17% and Shigella species 40% activity and other genera were negative. For weakly positive strains incubation should be carried out overnight. Robison (4) reported no false negative results and about 5% false positive results. MUG Lauryl Sulphate HiVeg®Broth, Modified is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks.
HiVeg® hydrolysate provides nutrients while lactose act as energy source. Sodium lauryl sulphate inhibits many organisms other than coliforms. 4-methylumbelliferyl-ß-D-glucuronide is hydrolyzed by an enzyme ß-glucuronidase possessed by organisms to yield 4-methylumbelliferone, a fluorescent end product.
Type of specimen
Food samples; Water samples
Specimen Collection and Handling:
Inoculate 10 ml of the test specimen into three tubes each of single strength and double strength medium. Incubate the tubes at 35°C for 24 hours. Observe for opacity and gas formation. For confirmation of presumptive E. coli, observe for fluorescence and perform indole reaction using Kovacs Reagent (R008). After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions :
Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations :
- Well isolated colonies must be used to avoid erroreous results.
- Other biochemical test must be performed in conjuction for confirmation.

Storage and Shelf Life
Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 2-8°C. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle in order to prevent lump formation due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period.
Disposal
User must ensure safe disposal by autoclaving and/or incineration of used or unusable preparations of this product. Follow established laboratory procedures in disposing of infectious materials and material that comes into contact with sample must be decontaminated and disposed of in accordance with current laboratory techniques (6,7).
