Directions
Suspend 41.0 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the media completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C.For blood media, aseptically add 5% v/v sterile defibrinated blood. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.
Principle And Interpretation
Huddleson used Tryptose media for the isolation of Brucella species from man (1). Tryptose containing media, rather than the conventionally used meat infusion media have been used for the enumeration and isolation of Brucella species (2,3). Tryptose Agar, HiVeg™ is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptone with vegetable peptones to avoid BSE/ TSE risks associate with animal peptones. Tryptose Agar is also recommended by APHA (4) and FDA (5). This medium can be used as general purpose media for cultivation of wide variety of organisms. It can also be supplemented with defibrinated blood (sheep, horse) to prepare blood agar for the isolation of fastidious organisms like Brucella. Dextrose is the source of energy. HiVeg™ hydrolysate No. 1 serves as nitrogen source while sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Blood Agar may be prepared by adding 5%v/v sterile defibrinated blood to molten sterile Tryptose Agar, HiVeg™ at 50°C.
Type of specimen
Food samples
Specimen Collection and Handling
For food and dairy samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection and processing as per guidelines (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
- All presumptive anaerobic organisms must be identified by confirmatory test.
