Directions
Either streak, inoculate or surface spread the test inoculum (50-100 CFU) aseptically on the plate.
Principle And Interpretation
Soyabean Casein Digest Agar is a widely used medium, which supports the growth of wide variety of organisms even that of fastidious ones such as Neisseria, Listeria, and Brucella etc. The medium with addition of blood provides perfectly defined haemolysis zones, while preventing the lysis of erythrocytes due to its sodium chloride content. It has been frequently used in the health industry to produce antigens, toxins etc. It's simple and inhibitor-free composition makes it suitable for the detection of antimicrobial agents in the food and other products. Tryptone Soya Agar is recommended by various pharmacopoeias as sterility testing medium (1,2).
Tryptone Soya Agar conforms as per USP (1) and is used in microbial limit test and antimicrobial preservative - effective test. The combination of tryptone and soya peptone makes this media nutritious by providing amino acids and long chain peptides for the growth of microorganisms. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance. Glycerol helps in retaining moisture of plates.
Soyabean Casein Digest Agar does not contains X and V growth factors. It can be conveniently used in determining the requirements of these growth factors by isolates of Haemophilus by the addition of X-factor (DD020), V-factor (DD021), and X+V factor discs (DD022) factor to inoculated TSA plates (4).
Type of Specimen
Pharmaceutical samples
Specimen Collection and Handling
For Pharmaceutical samples follow appropriate techniques for sample collection, handling and processing as per pharmacopoeias (1,2). After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
Read the label before opening the pack. 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 strain of a microorganism may have unique growth requirements with respect to nutrients and physical conditions. Based on which the growth pattern of each varies on a medium and some even may display significant delay in development.
- Environmental Monitoring Test: Exposure of media plates for 4 has a settle plate or in air sampler or even under laminar air flow may lead reduction in some available moisture on the surface. This may cause development of tiny cracks in the agar or slight shrinkage. This however, does not impact the performance of the media.
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.
Quality Control
Appearance: Sterile Soybean-Casein Digest Agar w/1% Glycerol, Barcoded in 90 mm disposable plates with smooth surface and absence of black particles/cracks/ bubbles (γ- Irradiated, Triple packed).
Colour of medium: Light yellow coloured medium
Quantity of medium: 32 ml of medium in 90 mm disposable plates.
pH: 7.10-7.50
Dose of irradiation (Kgy): 13.00-20.00
Sterility Check: Passes release criteria
Cultural response: Cultural characteristics was observed after an incubation for Bacterial at 30-35°C for 18-24 hours and for Fungal at 20-25° C for <=5days.
Recovery rate: Recovery rate is considered 100% for bacterial growth on Soyabean Casein Digest Agar and fungal growth on Sabouraud dextrose agar
Growth Promoting Properties
Growth of microorganism comparable to that previously obtained with previously tested and approved lot of medium occurs at the specified temperature for not more than the shortest period of time specified inoculating <=100 cfu (at 30-35° C for <=18 hours). Growth is also observed at 20-25°C for <=5 days for fungus
