Intended Use
Shigella HiVeg Broth Base is used for the cultivation of Shigella species from food.
Composition
| Ingredients | Grams/Litre |
|---|---|
| HiVeg hydrolysate | 20.0 |
| Sodium chloride | 5.0 |
| Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate | 2.0 |
| Monopotassium hydrogen phosphate | 2.0 |
| Dextrose | 1.0 |
| Polysorbate 80 | 1.5 |
Final pH (at 25°C) 7.0 ± 0.2
** Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.
Directions
Suspend 31.5 grams in 1000 ml 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 add rehydrated content of 1 vial of Shigella Selective Supplement (FD108) under aseptic conditions. Mix well and dispense in sterile test tubes.
Principle and Interpretation
This medium is prepared by using HiVeg hydrolysate in place of Casein enzymic hydrolysate which makes the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. Shigella HiVeg Broth Base contains HiVeg hydrolysate as a source of carbon, nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. Dextrose provides carbohydrates. Buffering action in the medium is provided by dipotassium hydrogen phosphate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium. Polysorbate 80 besides acting as an emulsifier, also to a certain extent serves as a synthetic complex (oleic acid ester), carbon source. Novobiocin is inhibitory towards most gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and certain gram-negative organisms such as Haemophilus influenzae and some species of Proteus.
