Directions
Suspend 48 grams of Part A in 1000 ml distilled water containing 4 ml of Part B. Heat gently to dissolve the medium completely.
When double strength broth is required the ingredients in double amount are dissolved in 1000 ml water. Dispense in tubes as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
Glucose Salt Teepol Broth is used to enrich Vibrio parahaemolyticus from sea foods and also used to enumerate the bacteria by MPN technique (1). Present formulation is recommended by BIS (2) for enrichment of Vibrio cholerae and other Vibrios responsible for food poisoning.
Peptic digest of animal tissue and meat extract provide essential nitrogenous nutrients and high percentage of sodium chloride (3%) helps for the better enrichment of halophilic Vibrio parahaemolyticus . Glucose is utilized by the organism while teepol inhibits the migration of halophilic organisms and the growth of the gram-positive organisms. After overnight incubation at 35 ± 2°C, a loopful of culture from top 1 cm of the broth showing growth is streaked onto TCBS Agar (M870S). Vibrio parahaemolyticus colonies on TCBS Agar appear as round, green or bluish measuring 2-3 mm in diameter, while Vibrio alginolyticus colonies are larger and yellow coloured. These colonies are further identified by biochemical characterization.
