Directions
Suspend 30.93 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense 100 ml into Wheaton bottles. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle and Interpretation
Peptone Sorbitol HiVeg Broth is prepared by using HiVeg peptone and synthetic detergent No. I in place of Peptic digest of animal tissue and bile salts mixture. Peptone Sorbitol HiVeg Broth is the modification of Peptone Sorbitol Broth which is formulated as per APHA (1) for the identification of Yersinia enterocolitica from dairy products. Yersinia enterocolitica is a food borne pathogen which causes gastroenteritis and terminalileitis in humans. Peptone Sorbitol HiVeg Broth contains HiVeg peptone which provides nitrogenous growth factors and trace ingredients for the growth of Yersinia enterocolitica. Sorbitol is polyhydric alcohol corresponding to glucose which is an important substrate in biochemical characterization tests for bacteria. Yersinia enterocolitica can degrade sorbitol while Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis can not utilize it (1). Phosphates maintain the buffering action of the medium while synthetic detergent No. I inhibits majority of the gram-positive organisms. The pH of the medium is slightly alkaline as Yersinia species are tolerant to dilute alkali (2).
