Tetrathionate Bile Brilliant Green Broth is used for isolation and identification of Salmonellae in accordance with Indian Pharmacopoeia.

Composition

Ingredients Gms / Litre
Peptone 8.600
Dehydrated Oxbile 8.000
Sodium chloride 6.400
Calcium carbonate 20.000
Potassium tetrathionate 20.000
Brilliant green 0.070
pH after heating (at 25°C) 7.0±0.2

Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

Directions

Suspend 63.07 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat just to boiling. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE OR REHEAT. Dispense as desired.

Due to presence of Calcium Carbonate, the prepared medium forms opalescent solution with white precipitate

Principle And Interpretation

Tetrathionate Bile Brilliant Green Broth is prepared as per the recommendation of Indian Pharmacopoeia (1) for microbial limit tests and isolation-identification of Salmonella species from pharmaceutical, foods, water and other materials of sanitary importance.

Peptone provides nitrogenous nutrients to the Salmonellae. Brilliant green and ox-bile inhibit both gram-positive as well as some selected gram-negative organisms while it promotes the growth of Salmonella. Potassium tetrathionate inhibits normal flora of faecal specimens. Sodium chloride helps in maintaining osmotic equilibrium. Calcium carbonate neutralizes the acids produced by reduction of tetrathionate.

After incubation streak onto differential medium for isolation and identification. Medium is not suitable for growth of Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi (2). Proteus may proliferate in the medium, which can make the medium less effective.
