Directions
Suspend 16.0 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C and aseptically add sterile enrichment such as blood, serum or ascitic fluid as required. Mix well and dispense into sterile test tubes or flasks as required.
Principle And Interpretation
Infusion based media are routinely employed for the cultivation of fastidious organisms. These media suffice complex nutritional requirements of most of the organisms. Field (1) formulated Tryptic Digest Broth for cultivation of fastidious microorganisms. Supplementation of the medium with serum, blood or ascitic fluid, it supports the growth of fastidious organisms such as, Neisseria meningitides, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae etc. (2). Shepard et al (3) described its use for culturing Streptococcus pneumoniae and Actinomycetes. Field's Tryptic digest Broth, HiVeg™ is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks. HiVeg™ infusion provides carbonaceous and nitrogenous compounds and other essential growth nutrients for growth of fastidious microorganisms. Blood serum or ascetic fluid provides additional growth factors.
