Principle And Interpretation

Antibiotic HiVeg Medium No.11 (Neomycin, Erythromycin HiVeg Assay Agar) is prepared using vegetable peptones in place of animal peptones, making the medium BSE, TSE risks free. It can be used for the same purpose of Antibiotic Medium No.11 (Neomycin, Erythromycin Assay Agar). Grove and Randall have elaborately elucidated the methods to perform Antibiotic Assay assays and various medias used for estimating the antibiotic concentrations of various formulations (1). Schmidt and Moyer have reported the use of antibiotic assay medium for the liquid formulation used in the performance of antibiotic assay (2). These media are also in accordance with USP (3) and FDA (4). MV004 media can be used as a seed layer or base layer for various assays. It is often used as inoculum medium for Staphylococcus aureus It is used for antibiotic plate assay of Ampicillin, Carbomycin, Erythromycin, Clindamycin and Gentamycin with Micrococcus luteus, of Oleandomycin, Paromomycin, Neomycin, Netilmycin, Sisomycin with Staphylococcus epidermidis. It can also be used for plate assay of Kanamycin and Neomycin with either Staphylococcus auerus or Bacillus pumilus and for plate assay of Framycetin with Bacillus pumilus .

Nutrients and growth factors are supplied by the ingredients like HiVeg peptone, HiVeg hydrolysate, yeast extract and HiVeg extract. Dextrose provides the carbon and energy source. Agar provides excellent medium for antibiotic diffusion and gives well-defined zones of inhibition. Higher pH provides the optimal conditions for activity of antibiotic and also supports the growth of the test organisms.

Freshly prepared plates should be used for antibiotic assays. Test organisms are inoculated in sterile seed agar pre-cooled to 40-45°C and spread evenly over the surface of solidified base agar. All conditions in the microbiological assay must be controlled carefully.
