Directions
Suspend 34.7 gram in 1000 ml purified / distilled water for preparing single strength broth or use 69.4 grams in 1000 ml purified / distilled water for double strength broth. Heat, if necessary, to ensure complete solution. Dispense in test tubes or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at A118°C for 15 minutes. (Acorresponds to 12 lbs pressure).
Principle And Interpretation
Enterococci are more resistant to chlorine in water, hence are better indicators of sewage pollution than Escherichia coli. Until 1984, members of the genus Enterococcus were classified as Group D Streptococci. Upon genomic DNA analysis, a separate genus status was provided to them. (1). Azide Dextrose Broth is recommended by APHA for enumeration of faecal Streptococci by MPN technique. Azide Dextrose Broth was initially formulated by Rothe, Mullmann and Seligmann (2,3) for quantitative determination of Enterococci in water, sewage, foods and other materials suspected of contamination with sewage. When large volumes of water samples are to be examined, double strength medium is used. Turbidity in tubes indicates presence of Enterococci, however, it should be further confirmed by inoculation in Ethyl Violet Azide Broth (M426). Azide Dextrose HiCynth™ Broth is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with chemically defined peptones to avoid BSE/TSE risks associated with animal peptones.
Azide Dextrose HiCynth™ Broth is a highly nutritious medium. HiCynth™ Peptone No.3 and HiCynth™ Peptone No.5 supplies nitrogen and carbon source, long chain amino acids, vitamins and other growth factors. Dextrose serves as an energy source. Sodium azide inhibits growth of gram-negative bacteria, allowing Enterococci to grow (4,5,6). Streptococci detected by the above media should be further identified using chemicals (7).
Type of specimen
Food samples; Water and sewage samples
Specimen Collection and Handling:
For food and dairy samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection and processing as per guidelines (8,9,10). For water samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection, processing as per guidelines and local standards (11). 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 :
- 1. Further biochemical tests must be carried out for confirmation.

Storage and Shelf Life
Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 15-30°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 (12,13).
