Composition**

Ingredients Gms / Litre
Peptic digest of animal tissue 20.000
Sodium chloride 30.000
Final pH (at 25°C) 8.6±0.2

**Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

Directions

Suspend 50 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.

Principle And Interpretation

Clinical materials containing small numbers of Vibrio should be inoculated into an enrichment medium prior to plating onto a selective medium, such as TCBS Agar (M189). Alkaline Peptone Water is a suitable enrichment broth for this purpose (1-3). This medium is recommended by APHA (4) for enrichment of Vibrio species from seafood, infectious materials and other clinical specimens such as faeces (5). A slight modification of this medium has recently been approved by the ISO Committee (6) for detection of Vibrio species.

Peptic digest of animal tissue provides amino acids and other nitrogenous substances. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium.

Add 10 grams of seafood to 90 ml of Alkaline Peptone Water and incubate for upto 18-20 hours at 37°C. Prolonged incubation will result in growth of the suppressed contaminating organisms to develop (7). Growth in tubes is indicated by turbidity compared to an un-inoculated tube (control). Growth from the enrichment broth is used for plating on selective media. For biochemical identification a pure culture is recommended.
