For mass cultivation of Escherichia coli.


Intended Use

Recommended for mass cultivation of Escherichia coli.

Composition

Ingredients Gms / Litre
Tryptone 35.000
Yeast extract 20.000
Sodium chloride 5.000

**Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

Directions

Each capsule contains 15 gms of medium. Suspend 1 capsule in 250 ml (4 capsules in 1000 ml) distilled or purified water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense into tubes or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.

Principle And Interpretation

Escherichia coli is a bacterium that is commonly found in the gut of humans and warm-blooded animals. Most strains of E. coli are harmless. Some strains however, such as Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) can cause severe foodborne disease. Super Broth has a formulation slightly different from that described by Atlas (1) and it is used for the mass cultivation of E. coli.

Tryptone and yeast extract provide nitrogenous compounds, vitamin B complex and other essential growth nutrients. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Super Broth is nutritionally rich hence other organisms can also grow in it easily.

Type of specimen

Isolated Microorganism of Escherichia coli.

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

  • 1. Further biochemical and serological tests must be carried out for further identification.

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.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 15-25°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 (2,3).
