A broth microdilution and a reference agar dilution method was used to determine minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of five veterinary antimicrobials when tested against 96 animal-derived and six American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) strains of Clostridium perfringens. These antimicrobials [bacitracin methylenedisalicylate (bacitracin-MD), tylosin, virginiamycin, erthromycin and tetracycline] are approved for use in animal feed at different levels for growth enhancement, control, and treatment of a variety of enteric diseases. For bacitracin-MD, MICs were higher using the broth microdilution method when compared to the agar dilution method. The two methods had the lowest agreement when using bacitracin-MD compared to the method agreements of other antimicrobials tested (only 34.3% of the C. perfringens tested within ±1 doubling dilution). Tylosin MICs were lower by the broth microdilution method but had better agreement between methods with 75.5% of the C. perfringens tested within ±1 doubling dilution. Good correlation between methods was found for virginiamycin, tetracycline, and erythromycin with 85.3, 76.5, 81.4% of the C. perfringens tested within ±1 doubling dilution, respectively. Differences in susceptibility to individual antimicrobials were found among the avian and porcine strains by both methods. For avian strains, bacitracin-MD, tylosin, and erthromycin MIC90values had differences of at least four doubling dilutions between methods. There were biases toward higher bacitracin-MD and lower tylosin and erythromycin MIC90values using the broth microdilution method. MIC90values against porcine and ATCC strains were more comparable between methods for all five antimicrobials than those generated against avian strains but the biases were still present. Most animal-derived strains were inhibited by approved livestock feed levels of the antimicrobials. Caution should be used when evaluating the potential effectiveness of feed-based antimicrobials against C. perfringens when results are generated using an in vitro test that may not be in agreement with the reference agar dilution method. 相似文献

A comparative study of methods to enumerate sulphite-reducing Clostridium spores and Group D faecal streptococci in oysters demonstrated that pour plate solid agar techniques gave higher counts than liquid broth most probable number procedures. Reinforced clostridial broth with supplements to detect sulphite reduction was compared with pour plates of egg yolk-free tryptose sulphite cycloserine agar incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Azide dextrose broth was compared with pour plates using Slanetz and Bartley (SB) agar or KF-streptococcus agar at 37°C. Most probable number procedures used for both groups of organisms gave excessive numbers of improbable tube combinations. For enumeration of Group D faecal streptococci, a pour plate technique using SB agar incubated at 37°C for 48 h is recommended. 相似文献

An improved protocol for the detection and rapid confirmation within 48 h of Salmonellas in confectionery products 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A modified ornithine decarboxylase broth and a selenite cystine trimethlyamine oxide ribose medium were developed to improve selection and detection of Salmonellas. They were used with a third medium, lysine iron cystine neutral red broth (incubated conventionally) in a screen of 80 Salmonellas and 32 non-salmonellas which showed the combination of media to be specific and sensitive. Subsequent evaluation with 90 product samples (spiked and naturally contaminated) resulted in complete agreement by rapid and conventional methods. The detected wells in these experiments were also used to evaluate a latex slide agglutination test for Salmonellas. Carried out directly on the well contents, this was found to be a rapid, specific and sensitive test for confirmation of Salmonella presence. Further tests with 106 routine production samples gave complete agreement by both methods. Presumptive positives were obtained in <1.0–3·8% of the sample wells and subsequent modification to the Bactometer software has greatly reduced these figures in routine use. The method is recommended for Salmonella testing of foodstuffs with low background flora and high fat/low moisture content. 相似文献

The growth rates of 14 Salmonella serovars in tryptone soy broth plus yeast extract (TSBYE) were estimated using conventional plating techniques and indirect conductimetry using a Don Whitley RABIT system. Both methods gave identical results for the maximum specific growth rate (mumax) P>0.05. However, using the conductimetric method, mumax for a single serovar was determined in less than 7 h, whereas the conventional method required an additional 24 h. In addition, the conductimetric method was considerably more precise, much less labour-intensive and required the use of considerably less consumables. Using conductimetry, a trained operator could accurately determine mumax for 24 serovars in 3 working days, but only one serovar using the conventional plate counting technique. Hence, the use of conductimetry can markedly increase the precision and accuracy of mumax determinations by allowing a very significant increase in the number of results obtained and in their precision. The data generated will allow the development of better mathematical growth models. The method can also be used to compare growth media and conditions and hence rapidly optimise detection protocols for this pathogen. 相似文献

Carbohydrate Fermentation Patterns of Neisseria meningitidis Determined by a Microtiter Method 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
A carbohydrate fermentation technique has been developed and compared to the standard fermentation test with cystine-Trypticase-semisolid agar for the identification of Neisseria meningitidis. This new method utilizes Mueller-Hinton broth as a basal substrate and is performed with microtiter methods. By using Mueller-Hinton broth with and without the addition of antibiotics, the method can be adjusted to test the fermentation patterns of all of the Neisseria including N. gonorrhoeae. 相似文献

It was shown on model experiments that the microbiological method was not applicable for determination of levorin content in industrial intermediate products containing in addition levoristatin, since the presence of the latter made higher the results of the microbiological assay. Because of this till to the present date the quantitative content of levorin in the industrial intermediate products was determined photometrically using alcohol (pure solvent) as the reference solution. Still, this method also made higher the results of the assay, especially when the content of levorin was determined in the fermentation broth. In the solid phase levorin is contained in the mycelium which occupies only 1 to 2 per cent of the fermentation broth, while the liquid phase or the fermentation broth filtrate occupies 98 to 99 per cent. It was found that the fermentation broth filtrate contained protein admixtures which coagulated on addition of alcohol to the fermentation broth and formed fine colloid solutions. As a result the absorption values became higher. In the present study not the pure solvent but an extract of the fermentation broth filtrate containing neither levorin, nor levoristatin was used as the reference solution. Such a differential method provided elimination of all errors due to the presence of various metabolites in the fermentation broth filtrate which varied both qualitatively and quantitatively. 相似文献

High temperature ethanol fermentation from sugarcane molasses B using thermophilic Crabtree-positive yeast Kluyveromyces sp. IIPE453 was carried out in batch bioreactor system. Strain was found to have a maximum specific ethanol productivity of 0.688 g/g/h with 92 % theoretical ethanol yield. Aeration and initial sugar concentration were tuning parameters to regulate metabolic pathways of the strain for either cell mass or higher ethanol production during growth with an optimum sugar to cell ratio 33:1 requisite for fermentation. An assessment of ethanol recovery from fermentation broth via simulation study illustrated that distillation-based conventional recovery was significantly better in terms of energy efficiency and overall mass recovery in comparison to coupled solvent extraction–azeotropic distillation technique for the same. 相似文献

A note on hydrolysis of tributyrin by Branhamella and Neisseria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
T V Riley 《The Journal of applied bacteriology》1987,62(6):539-542
Sixty-three strains of Branhamella and Neisseria were tested by two methods for their ability to hydrolyse glycerol tributyrate. After the conventional plate test, gas liquid chromatographical (GLC) analysis of the agar medium was carried out to detect the hydrolysis product, butyric acid, and other volatile fatty acids. All strains of Branhamella catarrhalis, Neisseria caviae, N. cuniculi and N. ovis but no other Neisseria spp. gave positive results with the conventional test. With GLC, however, most strains of Branhamella and Neisseria were shown to liberate butyric acid. In addition, some strains liberated acetic and isovaleric acids. Greater amounts of butyric acid were produced by clinical strains, in particular B. catarrhalis, compared with reference strains. It was concluded that the conventional plate test for tributyrin hydrolysis differentiates B. catarrhalis, N. caviae, N. cuniculi and N. ovis from other Neisseria. 相似文献

Tests of two leading brands of membrane filters used for enumerating fecal coliform bacteria showed that Gelman GN-6 filters recovered statistically more colonies of bacteria than did Millipore HAWG 047SO filters from pure cultures incubated at either 35 C (the optimal growth temperature) or 44.5 C (the standard temperature for the fecal coliform test). Standard membrane filter procedures with M-FC broth base were used to enumerate the organisms. Densities of colonies incubated on Gelman filters at 44.5 C averaged 2.3 times greater than those on Millipore filters. Plate counts of the bacteria at both temperatures indicated that incubation at 44.5 C did not inhibit propagation of fecal coliform bacteria. For the pour plates, M-FC broth base plus 1.5% agar was used. This modified medium compared favorably to plate count agar for enumerating Escherichia coli. At 35 and 44.5 C, colony counts on Gelman filters agreed closely with plate counts prepared concurrently, but Millipore counts were consistently lower than plate counts, especially at 44.5 C. Comparative analyses of river water for fecal coliform bacteria by the membrane filter technique gave results comparable to those for the pure cultures. 相似文献

A new generation of water soluble tetrazolium salts have recently become available and in this study we compared a colorimetric assay developed using one of these salts, 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2, 4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, monosodium salt (WST-8), with a previously developed 2,3-bis [2-methyloxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) colorimetric assay to determine which agent is most suitable for use as a colorimetric indicator in susceptibility testing. The MICs of 6 antibiotics were determined for 33 staphylococci using both colorimetric assays and compared with those obtained using the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy reference broth microdilution method. Absolute categorical agreement between the reference and test methods ranged from 79% (cefuroxime) to 100% (vancomycin) for both assays. No minor or major errors occurred using either assay with very major errors ranging from zero (vancomycin) to seven (cefuroxime). Analysis of the distribution of differences in the log(2) dilution MIC results revealed overall agreement, within the accuracy limits of the standard test (+/-1 log(2) dilution), using the XTT and WST-8 assays of 98% and 88%, respectively. Further studies on 31 ESBL-producing isolates were performed using the XTT method with absolute categorical agreement ranging from 87% (nitrofurantoin) to 100% (ofloxacin and meropenem). No errors were noted for either ofloxacin or meropenem with overall agreement of 91%. The data suggests that XTT is more reliable and accurate than WST-8 for use in a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility test. 相似文献

Phenylacetate acid (PAA) is transferred by extraction from the fermentation broth filtrate into toluol. The extract is applied to a Silufol plate with an aluminium foil lining (silica gel sorbent, Czechoslovakia). Reference solutions of PAA are also applied to the same plate. The reference and test solutions are applied dropwise (spots of 5--6 x 10(-3)m in diameter). For PAA development the spots are sprayed with a freshly prepared saturated solution of potassium manganate in 6N H2SO4. PAA of the test samples is developed as a dull ring against grey background and that of the reference solution is developed as a circle. The amount of PAA in the spot is determined by using correlation between the spot area and the amount of PAA applied. One plate of 225 X 10(-4) m2 can be used for about 300 analyses. One analysis takes 300--600 seconds. 相似文献

Recovery of 2,3‐butanediol from a fermentation broth entails the separation of cells and other suspended solids as the initial step for subsequent separation stages. The aim of this work was to study the cross‐flow filtration of broth in the fermentation of 2,3‐butanediol from blackstrap molasses by Klebsiella oxytoca (NRRL B‐199). A plate type laboratory scale cross‐flow microfiltration unit with a 0.2‐μm cellulose acetate membrane was employed for this purpose. Preliminary results showed that the permeate flux would decline rapidly due to fouling caused by the natural impurities of blackstrap molasses, and modifications of the conventional cross‐flow filtration would be essential to achieve a filtration rate appropriate for practical purposes. In this work, the permeate flux was enhanced by air sparging, which scoured the membrane surface of colloidal deposits and allowed a practical filtration rate to be maintained. The average permeate flux increased by 39 % and 54 % for an air sparging rate of 0.5 L/min and 1.0 L/min respectively, in the case of an initial biomass concentration of 4.66 g/L. For an initial biomass concentration of 14.2 g/L, the flux increased by 105 % and 146 % for the gas rate of 0.5 and 1.0 L/min, respectively. It may be concluded that gas sparging is beneficial in cross‐flow filtration of thick suspensions like a fermentation broth. 相似文献

This paper deals with the studies on Cephalosporin-C production in a lab-scale airlift reactor using Cephalosporium acremonium. Various growth modes, viz. pellets and Siran supported bioparticles were used to improve the process over conventional free mycelial fermentation. Cephalosporin-C production was significantly improved by using bioparticles over the free mycelial culture, probably due to the enhanced mass transfer in the fermentation broth. However, the biofilm of the bioparticles became unstable as the fermentation proceeded, and increase in the free cells in the broth occurs. The maximum specific growth rate of free cells, pellets and Siran carrier were observed to be 0·037, 0·033 and 0·045 h−1, respectively. The oxygen transfer coefficient also improved for the immobilised modes (100 h−1, 70 h−1 for Siran carrier and pellets) and thereby enhanced specific antibiotic productivity, 18–28% were observed. 相似文献

The productivity of the acetone-butanol fermentation was increased by continuously removing acetone and butanol from the fermentation broth during fed-batch culture. Whole broth containing viable cells of Clostridium acetobutylicum was cycled to a Karr reciprocating plate extraction column in which acetone and butanol were extracted into oleyl alcohol flowing counter-currently through the column. By continuously removing these toxic metabolites from the broth, end product inhibition was reduced, and a concentrated feed solution containing 300 g/L glucose was fermented at an overall butanol productivity of 1.0 g/L h, 70% higher than the productivity of normal batch fermentation. The continuous extraction process provides flexible operation and lends itself to process scale-up. 相似文献

A review of errors, which can influence the measured data of electrochemical oxygen sensors (OS) in fermentation technique is presented. The specifities of various sensor constructions are pointed out. References are given for selection of sensors to application in fermenters. Influences on the measured values can take place by fermentation conditions, arrangement of sensors in the fermenter and composition of the fermentation broth. The oxygen measurement in the multi-phase system of fermentation fluids can cause a remarkable deviation of the measured values to the real ones. Practical hints are given for use, calibration and sterilization of OS. Restricting conditions for measurements with this sensors are enumerated. 相似文献
