Intended Use

AATCC Bacteriostasis HiVeg™ Agar is used for the detection of antibacterial activity of fabrics while broth is used for routine antibacterial testing of antiseptics and disinfectants.

Composition

Ingredients MV231 Grams/Litre MV221 Grams/Litre
HiVeg peptone 10.00 10.00
HiVeg extract 5.00 5.00
Sodium chloride 5.00 5.00
Agar 15.00 -
Final pH (at 25°C) 7.2 ± 0.2 6.8 ± 0.2

Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters.

Directions

Suspend 35 grams of MV231 or 20 grams of MV221 in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.

Principle and Interpretation

AATCC Bacteriostasis HiVeg Agar and AATCC Bacteriostasis HiVeg Broth are the modifications of AATCC Bacteriostasis Agar/Broth where the animal based peptones are substituted by vegetable peptones thus making the media BSE/TSE risk free. AATCC Bacteriostasis Agar is used in accordance with the standard procedure (1, 2, 3). AATCC Bacteriostasis Broth is useful for subcultures in phenol coefficient and dilution tests and tests of bacteriostatic, germicidal, sporicidal activity (1) and also as a base for the preparation of AATCC Bacteriostasis Agar (2). AATCC Bacteriostasis Agar may be used to carry stock cultures of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Also, it is used for the detection of antibacterial activity of fabrics. AATCC Bacteriostasis HiVeg Agar/Broth, like the conventional media serves the same above mentioned purposes.

The test cultures of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are grown in AATCC Bacteriostasis HiVeg Broth for 24 hours. 1 ml of this culture is mixed with 150 ml of AATCC Bacteriostasis HiVeg Agar and poured into the plate. After the agar solidifies, apply a circular sterile test fabric of 28.6 mm diameter onto the plate. Incubate at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours and observe the inhibition of growth around test fabric.

HiVeg peptone and HiVeg extract provides nitrogenous nutrients and sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium.

Quality Control

Appearance of Powder: Yellow coloured, may have slightly greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder.

Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.5% Agar gel of MV231.

Colour and Clarity: Amber coloured, clear to slightly opalescent gel forms in petri plates, clear solution in tubes.

Reaction

Reaction of 3.5% w/v aqueous solution of MV231 is pH 7.2 ± 0.2 at 25°C.

Reaction of 2.0% w/v aqueous solution of MV221 is pH 6.8 ± 0.2 at 25°C.

Cultural Response

Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours.

Organisms (ATCC) Inoculum (CFU) Growth Recovery
Escherichia coli (25922) 102 luxuriant >70%
Staphylococcus aureus (6538) 102 luxuriant >70%
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (27853) 102 luxuriant >70%
Salmonella serotype Typhi (6539) 102 luxuriant >70%

Lack of bacterial growth indicates that the fabric has antibacterial activity.
