Directions

Suspend 51.0 gram 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 pour into sterile Petri plates.

Principle And Interpretation

Tryptone Soya Yeast Extract Agar is formulated as per APHA (1) and FDA BAM (2) for the isolation and cultivation of L. monocytogenes from foods. Tryptone Soya Yeast Extract HiVeg® Agar is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks. ISO Committee (3-6) has recommended this medium for confirmation of Listeria species and can also be used for the cultivation and maintenance of a wide variety of heterotrophic microorganisms (6).

HiVeg® hydrolysate and soya peptone provide amino acids and other complex nitrogenous substances. Dextrose is the energy source. Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate buffers the medium. Yeast extract is the rich source of vitamin B complex.

Type of specimen

Food samples

Specimen Collection and Handling:

For food and animal feeds, environmental samples follow appropriate techniques for handling specimens as per established guidelines (1-6). 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. Individual organisms differ in their growth requirement and may show variable growth patterns on the medium.
  2. 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.

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.

Productivity:

Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 25 ± 1°C for 21 ± 3 hours hours in microaerobic conditions. Recovery rate is considered as 100% for bacteria growth on previously approved lot

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 (6,7).
