Directions
Either streak, inoculate or surface spread the test inoculum (50-100 CFU) aseptically on the plate.
Principle And Interpretation
Various pharmacopoeias recommend Soybean Casein Digest Agar as sterility testing medium. It is also used in validation of sterility checking procedure in accordance with the microbial limit testing harmonized methodology of USP/EP/BP/JP/ IP (1-5). Tryptone Soya Agar with ẞ Lactamase mixture is used in plates for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms present on surfaces of sanitary importances and also in environmental monitoring of clean room for facilities where production of Cephalosporins is carried out. Tryptone and soya peptone provide nitrogenous compounds and other nutrients essential for microbial replication. ẞ Lactamase mixture added in the medium will inactivate the penicillins, cephalosporins of first, second, third and fourth generation and penems, thus enabling the growth of resistant strains present in the environment of clean rooms where production of antibiotics is carried out.
Type of specimen
Pharmaceutical samples
Specimen Collection and Handling:
For Pharmaceutical samples follow appropriate techniques for sample collection, handling and processing as per pharmacopoeias (1-5). 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
- Individual organisms differ in their growth requirement and may show variable growth patterns on the medium.
- Each lot of the medium has been tested for the organisms specified on the COA. It is recommended to users to validate the medium for any specific microorganism other than mentioned in the COA based on the user's unique requirement.
Performance and Evaluation
Performance of the medium is expected when used as per the direction on the label within the expiry period when stored at recommended temperature.
