Principle And Interpretation
Alternative Thioglycollate Medium contains sodium thioglycollate that can neutralize the bacteriostatic effect of mercurial preservatives. Absence of agar makes it suitable for testing viscous materials and devices having tubes with small lumina. Casein enzymic hydrolysate, yeast extract, dextrose, L-cystine provides nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds, vitamin B complex, trace elements and other essential growth nutrients. The composition matches with the medium recommended in pharmacopoeias (1, 2,3). Sterile cotton swabs allow absorption of specimen material while polystyrene shaft allows semiflexibility to the swab stick, aiding in collection.
