Directions
Suspend 39.0 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in test tubes or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at A 115°C for 15 minutes. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEATING. A Corresponds to 10 lbs pressure.
Principle And Interpretation
Hajna (1 developed Gram Negative (GN Broth as an enrichment medium for recovery of Salmonella and Shigella from clinical and non-clinical specimens such as urine, blood clots, throat swabs, swabs from eating and drinking utensils etc (1,2. GN Broth, Hajna is also recommended by APHA (3 for the microbiological examination of foods. Croft and Miller isolated more strains of Shigella from rectal swabs using this medium (4. Taylor and Schelhart showed the superiority of GN Broth to selenite enrichment media for isolation of Shigella (5. Hajna (2,6 also suggested the enrichment of organisms from rectal swabs in this medium 1-6 hours before plating on solid media. GN HiVeg™ Broth is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks. The medium contains HiVeg™ hydrolysate No. 1, which provides amino acids and other nitrogenous substances to support bacterial growth. The combination of sodium citrate and sodium deoxycholate inhibit gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria such as coliforms. Phosphates serve as a buffering system. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. The higher concentration of mannitol over dextrose limits the growth of Proteus and enhances growth of mannitol fermenting Salmonella and Shigella. This enrichment broth should be used in conjunction with selective and nonselective plating media to increase the probability of isolating pathogens (7,8,9. GN HiVeg™ Broth should be inoculated directly with the specimen. In case of stool specimens, approximately 1 gram should be used for inoculation. Appropriate references for processing of clinical and food samples should be followed (7,8,9,10. After incubation of 6-8 hours and again after 24 hours, sub culturing on selective agar media should be carried out (7.
Type of specimen
Please add specimens
Specimen Collection and Handling:
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 :
- Further isolation and biochemical tests must be performed for confirmation.

Storage and Shelf Life
Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 20-30°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 (11,12).
