Directions
Suspend 40.0 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C. Mix well and aseptically pour into sterile Petri plates.
Principle And Interpretation
Nutrient Media are general purpose media used for the examination of water and dairy products according to Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste water (1) and Dairy Products (2). Nutrient Agar No. 2 can be used for the microbiological analysis of water as per Czech Standards. It can also be used for sterility testing of aerobes and also for maintenance of subcultures (3). As a general purpose can be used for clinical samples also.
HM peptone B and peptone provide the necessary nitrogen compounds, carbon, long chain amino acids, vitamins and also some trace ingredients for the growth of bacteria. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium of the medium.
Type of specimen
Clinical samples- faeces, urine, etc.; Food and dairy samples; Water samples
Specimen Collection and Handling
For clinical samples follow appropriate techniques for handling specimens as per established guidelines (4,5). For food and dairy samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection and processing as per guidelines (2,6,7). For water samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection, processing as per guidelines and local standards (1). After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
In Vitro diagnostic use. For professional use only. 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 clinical specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- Individual organisms differ in their growth requirement and may show variable growth patterns on the medium.
- Each lot of the medium has been tested for the organisms specified on the COA. It is recommended to users to validate the medium for any specific microorganism other than mentioned in the COA based on the user's unique requirement.
- Further serological and biochemical testing is required for complete identification.
