PRODUCT SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION :
Coliforms including Escherichia coli are used as primary indicators of faecal
contamination in water and food industries. Their presence and enumeration in samples
is used as an index of the presence of faecal matter and is indicative of the possible
presence of enteric pathogens. Chromogenic Coliform Agar (CCA) is a fast, accurate,
and efficient way to detect coliforms and E. coli during microbiological quality testing of
water and food samples. Escherichia coli are also the most common pathogen in urinary
tract infections. This product incorporates the company's chromogenic galactoside that
detects clinical levels of coliforms with high sensitivity.
TM 1858TM 1858 CHROMOGENIC COLIFORM AGAR (ISO 9308-1:2014)CHROMOGENIC COLIFORM AGAR (ISO 9308-1:2014)
INTENDED USE
For determination of coliform bacteria particularly Enterobacteriaceae on the basis of their ability to ferment lactose.
PRINCIPLE :
Chromogenic Coliform Agar (CCA) is used for enumeration of Escherichia coli and other coliforms in water samples by membrane filter
technique. This medium contains enzymatic digest of casein, yeast extract, sorbitol and sodium pyruvate as sources of carbon, nitrogen,
fermentable carbohydrate and other essential growth nutrients for the growth of microorganisms. Disodium hydrogen phosphate and
sodium dihydrogen phosphate are the buffering agents. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium in the medium. L- Tryptophan
improves the indole reaction and gives improved differentiation between Escherichia coli and other coliforms. Tergitol- 7 inhibits gram
positive bacteria. The two chromogens used; salmon-ß-D-galactoside and X-glucuronide help in differentiation of Escherichia coli and other
coliforms on the basis of colony colour. The enzyme ß-D-galactosidase cleaves salmon-ß-D-galactoside, and gives a salmon to red colour to
the coliform bacteria. E. coli have ß-D galactosidase and ß-D-glucuronidase enzymes to cleave both the chromogens, which give blue-violet
colour to colonies. Expression of ß-D-galactosidase is strengthened in the presence of IPTG. Agar is a gelling agent.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE :
1. Dissolve 26.45 gms in 1000 ml of distilled water.

PRINCIPLE :
Medium contains combination of Pancreatic digest of casein and papaic digest of
soyabean meal makes this media nutritious by providing amino acids and long chain
peptides for the growth of microorganisms. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic
balance.Agar acts as solidifying agent.
The initial specimens should be inoculated onto another suitable medium and incubated for 18-24 hours in an aerobic atmosphere
supplemented with carbon dioxide. Many pathogens require carbon dioxide on primary isolation therefore plates may be incubated in an
atmosphere containing approximately 3 - 10% CO at 35 ± 2ºC for 24 - 48 hours and on maximum incubation period for 3 – 5 days at
30ºC – 35º C by using membrane filtration, spread plate and pour plate method. Choose one or two well-isolated colonies those resemble
Haemophilus species and perform Gram-staining to confirm that the isolate is a gram-negative rod or cocco - bacillus. Prepare suspension of
10²CFU/ml (10-15 colonies) in 5 ml sterile, purified water or Soya casein digest broth and vortex to mix. Dip a swab in the suspension and
inoculate the entire surface of the plate with the swab. With sterile forceps, place a Taxo X factor strip, a V factor strip and a XV strip on the
plate, at least 20 mm apart. These strips are impregnated with Haemoglobin, routinely used for differentiation and isolation of Haemophillus
sp. After incubation, isolated colonies of organisms from the original sample have been obtained such as Staphylococcus aureus. The
colonies are sub cultured by interest so that the positive identification can be made by means of biochemical and/or serological testing.

PRINCIPLE :
Medium contains dextrose in high concentration which is used as an energy source. Mycological Peptone provides nitrogen and vitamin
source required for the growth of the organism and Agar works as a solidifying agent. The medium has an acidic pH (5.6) provided by
Mycological peptone which promotes the growth, formation of Sporangia and condia as well as the formation of yeasts and molds. High
dextrose concentration and low pH favors fungal growth and inhibits contaminating bacteria from test samples. Due to its low pH this
medium is very sensitive to overheating which will soften the agar and caramelize the carbohydrate. Chloramphenicol supplement or
antibiotics if added to the medium can increase the sensitivity of the medium and inhibit bacterial growth.

TM 339TM 339 MUELLER HINTON AGARMUELLER HINTON AGAR
PRINCIPLE :
The medium consist of Beef extract and Casein acid hydrolysate which provides nitrogen, vitamins, carbon, and amino acids. Starch is added
to absorb any toxic metabolites produced. Agar is the solidifying agent. The thymine/thymidine content of this medium is minimized
(determined by disc diffusion procedure with Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim antibiotic) and levels of
calcium and magnesium are adjusted (determined by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and aminoglycoside antibiotics) to give
consistent zones of inhibition as per specified diameters in the CLSI standards. For fastidious organisms, Mueller–Hinton fastidious (MH-F)
agar is prepared by supplementing the basal media with 5% (v/v) mechanically defibrinated horse blood and 20 mg/liter ß-NAD. The
standardized disc diffusion procedure is based on the ability of an antimicrobial agent impregnated on a paper disc to diffuse through agar gel.
PRODUCT SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION :
Mueller Hinton Agar is used for cultivation of Neisseria & for
determination of susceptibility of microorganisms to antibiotics. It is
formulated by Mueller and Hinton for the primary isolation of Neisseria
species. Bauer and Kirby recommended this medium for performing
antibiotic susceptibility tests using a single disc of high concentration. It
has become the standard medium for antimicrobial susceptibility testing
and its performance is in accordance to Clinical and Laboratory Standard
Institute (CLSI), formerly NCCLS and complies with requirements of the
WHO, FDA and EUCAST.

PRINCIPLE :
Proteose peptone and Yeast extract are the sole sources of carbon, nitrogen, vitamin B - complex, minerals and amino acids in the medium. Sodium
thiosulphate serves as a sulphur source and, in combination with Ferric citrate, detects hydrogen sulphide production. Sucrose is included as a
fermentable carbohydrate for the metabolism of Vibrio. Inhibition of gram- positive bacteria and suppression of coliforms is achieved by the
incorporation of Ox bile, which is a synthetic compound and suppresses primarily Enterococci. Thymol blue and Bromothymol blue are included as
indicators of pH changes. Sodium citrate and Sodium thiosulphate are the selective agents, providing an alkaline pH and improves the recovery of
V.cholerae. Strains of V.cholerae produce yellow colonies on TCBS Agar because of fermentation of sucrose. V.alginolyticus also produce yellow
colonies. V.parahaemolyticus is a sucrose non-fermenting organism and therefore produces blue-green colonies, as does V.vulnificus. and inhibit
gram- positive organism and suppress coliforms. Agar is the solidifying agent.

PRODUCT SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION :
TCBS Agar (Vibrio Selective Agar) is highly selective for the isolation of Vibrio cholerae and
V. parahaemolyticus from stool specimens, and specified in standard methods for food
testing. This highly selective medium meets the nutritional requirements of Vibrio species
and allows competing with intestinal flora. Vibrio species is able to grow in media containing
increased salt concentrations. Vibrio species are natural inhabitants of water.
22. Product Specification
PRINCIPLE :
This medium consists of Beef extract and Peptic digest of animal tissue provide nitrogen, vitamins, minerals and amino acids essential for
growth. Lactose is the fermentable carbohydrate providing carbon and energy. Bile salts and Sodium citrate inhibit Gram-positive bacteria,
most coliform bacteria and swarming Proteus spp., while allowing Salmonella spp to grow. Brilliant green and high concentrations of Sodium
thiosulphate and citrate largely inhibit the accompanying microbial flora. Sulphide production is detected by using thiosulphate and iron ions,
the colonies turn black. The presence of coliform bacteria is established by detecting degradation of lactose to acid with the pH indicator
neutral red. Neutral red is the pH indicator. Non-lactose fermenting bacteria (supposed pathogens) produce clear colonies, transparent or
colorless, while coliforms are sufficiently inhibited, and form small colonies that vary from pink to red in color. The plates of the medium can
be kept for at least a week in refrigeration. This formulation, highly selective, is not recommended for the primary isolation of Shigella. Some
Shigella spp. may be inhibited.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE :
1. Dissolve 63.00 gms in 1000 ml of distilled water.
2. Gently heat to boiling with gentle swirling and dissolve the medium completely. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE.

PRODUCT SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION :
Violet Red Bile Agar, a modification of MacConkeys original formulation is used for the enumeration of coli-aerogenes bacterial group. It
relies on the use of the selective inhibitory components crystals violet and bile salts and the indicator system lactose, and neutral red. Thus,
the growth of many unwanted organisms is suppressed, while tentative identification of sought bacteria can be made. Organisms, which
rapidly attack lactose, produce purple colonies surrounded by purple halos. Non-fermenters or late lactose-fermenters produce pale
colonies with greenish zones. VRBA is recommended by APHA.

Product Specification
25. PRINCIPLE :
Peptone special provides nitrogenous, carbonaceous compounds and other essential
growth nutrients while agar as a solidifying agent. UTI Agar contains two specific
Chromogenic substrates which are cleaved by enzymes produced by Enterococcus spp.,
Escherichia coli and coliforms. In addition, it contains phenylalanine and tryptophan,
which provide an indication of tryptophan deaminase activity, indicating the presence of Proteus spp.,Morganella spp.and Providencia spp. One of
the Chromogenic substrate is cleaved by ß- glucosidase possessed by Enterococci resulting in formation of blue colonies. E. coli produces pink
colonies due to the enzyme ß-D-galactosidase that cleaves the other Chromogenic substrate. Further confirmation of E. coli can be done by
performing the Indole test. Coliforms produce purple coloured colonies due to cleavage of both the Chromogenic substrate. Colonies of Proteus spp.,
Morganella spp. and Providencia spp. appear brown because of tryptophan deaminase activity.
PRODUCT SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION :
Urinary tract infections are bacterial infections affecting parts of urinary tract. The
common symptoms of urinary tract infection are urgency and frequency of micturition,
with associated discomfort or pain. The common condition is cystitis, due to infection of
the bladder with a uropathogenic bacterium, which most frequently is Escherichia coli,
but sometimes Staphylococcus saprophyticus or especially in hospital-acquired
infections, Klebsiella species, Proteus mirabilis, other coliforms, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa or Enterococcus faecalis. Chromogenic UTI Agar is formulated on basis of
work carried out by Pezzlo Wilkie et al, Friedman et al, Murray et al, Soriano and Ponte
and Merlino et al.

26. Salmonella Typhimurium
INSTRUCTION FOR USE :
1. Dissolve 56.68 gms in 1000 ml distilled water.
2. Gently heat to boil with gentle swirling and dissolve the medium completely. (DO NOT AUTOCLAVE. DO NOT RE-HEAT).
3. Cool to 45 - 50°C prior to dispense into sterile petri plates
PRINCIPLE :
The medium contains Yeast extracts as source of vitamins and minerals. Addition of Sodium deoxycholate acts as a selective agent which is inhibitory
to Gram-positive bacteria. It suppresses the growth of other enteric pathogens and enhances the growth of only few enteric bacilli. The medium
contains Xylose as a fermentable carbohydrate which is utilized by Salmonella species. The medium pH is changed due to fermentation of Xylose
which is detected by indicator Phenol red, thus the colony colour turns red. The medium also contains Lactose and Sucrose as the source of
fermentable sugar. L-lysine is an essential amino acid source. Lysine is added to differentiate Salmonella Sp. Sodium chloride helps maintaining the
osmotic balance of the cells. This medium also allows differentiation of bacilli based on their ability to produce H S; it contains Sodium thiosulphate2
and Ferric ammonium citrate that helps visualizing the black centered colonies on production of hydrogen sulphide in the medium. Agar is added as
the solidifying agent.
PRODUCT SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION :
XLD Agar was formulated by Taylor for the isolation and differentiation of enteric pathogens including Salmonella Typhi from other Salmonella
species. XLD Agar has been recommended for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and for the microbiological testing of foods, water and dairy
products. The media formulation does not allow the over growth of other organisms over Salmonella andShigella.

Product Specification
27. PRODUCT SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION :
This medium is both differential and enriched medium and used for the isolation,
cultivation and detection of hemolytic activity of fastidious microorganisms like
Streptococci, and Pneumococci. The Blood Agar plate medium contains highly
nutritious extract and the 5 % blood supplement that provides additional use in
isolation, cultivation, and determination of hemolytic reactions of fastidious
pathogenic microorganisms. Hemolytic patterns may vary with the source of animal blood or type of base medium used. In sheep blood,
nucleotidase destroys V factors preventing the growth of Hemophilus species on sheep blood agar unless other microorganisms, such as
Staphylococci, provide the V factors. Small amounts of reducing sugars inhibit the expression of ß-hemolytic, and ß-hemolytic Streptococci may
develop a green zone or ring of hemolysis.
A number of streptococcal species produce substances that lyses of the red cell wall releasing of hemoglobin. Such substances are referred to as
hemolysins. The activity of streptococcal hemolysins, streptolysins, can be readily observed when the organisms are growing on a blood agar
plate. Different streptococci produce different effects on the red blood cells in blood agar.
lThose that produce incomplete hemolysis and only partial destruction of the cells around colonies are called alpha-hemolytic
Streptococci. Characteristically, this type of hemolysis is seen as a distinct greening of the agar in the hemolytic zone, and thus this group of
streptococci has also been referred to as the viridans group.
lSpecies whose hemolysins cause complete destruction of red cells in the agar zones surrounding their colonies are said to be beta-
hemolytic which are small opaque or semi translucent colonies surrounded by clear zones in a red opaque medium. Two types of beta lysins
are produced; Streptolysin-O, an antigenic oxygen-labile enzyme and Streptolysin-S, a non-antigenic oxygen-stable enzyme. The hemolytic
reaction is enhanced when blood agar plates are streaked and simultaneously stabbed to show subsurface hemolysis by Streptolysin-O in an
environment with reduced oxygen tension. Some strains of Staphylococci, Escherichia coli, and other bacteria also may show beta-
hemolysis.
lSome species of Streptococci do not produce hemolysins. Therefore, when their colonies grow on blood agar, no change is seen in the red
blood cells around them. These species are referred to as nonhemolytic or gamma hemolytic streptococci.

INTERPRETATION :
Cultural characteristics observed after incubation at 30-35 °C for 18-48 hours.
28. Dehydrated Culture Medium is a combination of complex nutrient substrates formulated for the
cultivation of microorganisms. The components of a Dehydrated Culture Medium must satisfy the
nutritional requirements like nitrogen, carbon and trace elements of microorganisms, in order to live and
replicate.
Peptone, Protein Hydrolysate, Infusions and Extracts
The Dehydrated Culture media is meant for carrying out bacteriological work in the laboratory and is not
used for human or animal consumption directly or indirectly.
To cultivate bacteria, a suitable environment is must. The environment can either be in a solid media
form, known as Agar or a liquid form known as Broth. Broth media can be used in case of a known
pure culture. However, Agar medium can be used to isolate and enumerate bacterial populations.
There are several types of media which is used for laboratory cultures:
1. General Purpose Media: This is a non-selective and allows the growth of almost all aerobic and
facultative anaerobic organisms. It is used primarily for isolation of organisms. The most famous
example of general purpose media is Nutrient Agar (TM 341)
2. Enriched Media: This type of media contains specific nutrients, which supports the growth of
fastidious organisms. Blood Agar (TM 071) is an enriched medium in which nutritionally rich,
whole blood supplements is added and act as basic nutrients.
3. Selective Media: This media contains additives that enhance the growth of certain organisms
while inhibiting the growth of others. Selective media can be either moderately or highly selective.
Moderately selective media will help decrease the interference of unwanted bacteria, while any
highly selective media will completely eliminate undesired growth. Eosin Methylene Blue or EMB
(TM 336) that contains methylene blue which is toxic to Gram-positive bacteria and supports the
growth of Gram negative bacteria.
4. Differential Media: This media distinguish one microorganism type from another growing on
the same media. This type of media uses the biochemical characteristics of a microorganism
growing in the presence of specific nutrients or indicators (such as neutral red, phenol red, eosin,
or methylene blue) added to the medium to visibly indicate the defining characteristics of a
microorganism. MacConkey Agar is differential for lactose fermentation.

Note : Efficiency of the autoclave should be ascertained from time to time using various biological or chemical
indicators (Please check page 111-112 for wide range of indicators)
7. Dispensing Of The Media :
Cool the agar based medium to 40-50°C and pour as desired.
For Plating : After autoclaving pour into Petri plates, place them in upright position to cool under
laminar flow and then immediately cover with lid.
5. Specialized Media: Specialized media has additives that isolate specific pathogens. It can help
provide insight to colony morphology, differentiation and identification of these pathogens. Mueller
Hinton Media (TM 339) is an example of this type of media. It was originally designed to isolate
pathogenic Neisseria, but is now universally used for antibiotic susceptibility testing as per CLSI
standards.
1. Carefully read instruction for use on labels.
2. Note the Best Before and Lot /Batch No. for your records. Some media may have shorter shelf
lives than other depending upon the product.
3. Write on the label the date of receipt in the laboratory.
4. Store as indicated on the labels. as it is hygroscopic in nature, usually it is specified to keep usually
below 25°C in dry area, away from direct sunlight, autoclaves, drying oven and other heat
sources.
5. Ensure the proper capping of the box after every use.
6. Kindly consult Material Safety Data Sheet for hazardous products.
1. Complete instructions for the preparation of culture media are given on labels of each bottles.
2. Always use rehydrated, clean, undamaged glassware and fresh prepared distilled or deionized
water.
3. Place appropriately weighed amount in clean dry flask, 2-3 times larger than the final volume of
prepared medium.
4. Add part of the required amount of distilled water and swirl to dissolve. Now add remaining water
from the side of container with gentle heating using hot plate, open fame, water bath, microwave
(Should not be kept for longer period). While performing it one should avoid overheating,
scorching or burning.
5. pH Adjustment: The pH value of the media shall produce the equivalent value at 25°C as
mentioned on the label. For best results, prepare the medium with distilled or deionised water
only. If old material is being used, it is recommended to check the pH and correct if necessary
before use. pH adjustment (if required) should be carried out with 0.1 N Hydrochloric Acid or
Sodium Hydroxide Solution.
6. Sterilization: Generally, sterilization is done at 121°C for 15 mins at 15 psi using autoclave.
Volume larger than 2 ltr may require more autoclaving time to achieve proper sterilization. Colour
of the media may vary from other brands but the growth of microorganisms will be same as
desired levels.
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
RECONSTITUTION OF DEHYDRATED MEDIA
Note: Open the culture medium container away from draughts and moisture. Avoid inhaling the powder and
prolonged skin contact.
30. For Broth : Sterile broth may be cooled to room temperature or laminar flow as desired.
For Slant and Motility prepared Media: After dissolving the media, dispense appropriate quantity
(8ml) into the tubes and then autoclave. Remove from autoclave and keep in slanted position to solidify.
Note : Any heat labile or heat sensitive enrichments or supplements must be added aseptically after lowering the
temperature of agar to 40-50°C and then poured as desired.
If the prepared media are not to be used within 24 hours then these should be stored at low
temperature i.e. 2-8°C in moisture proof container. Do not refrigerate the medium. Petri plates should
be kept in upright position. Also, it is recommended to use Paraffin and then to keep in plastic zip bags
so that it does not retain moisture.
A microbiological culture or microbial culture, is a method of multiplying microbial organisms by
letting them reproduce in predetermined culture medium under controlled laboratory conditions.
Whereas, a pure (or axenic) culture is a population of cells or multicellular organisms growing in the
absence of other species or types.
There are number of procedures available for the isolation of pure cultures from mixed populations A
pure culture may be isolated by the use of special media with specific chemical or physical agents that
allows the enrichment or selection of one organism over another. The method of isolation includes:
1. Pour Plating or Spread Plating Technique
2. Streak plating with quantified loop.
1. Prepare serial dilutions* of autoclaved distilled or deionized water as shown in Figure 1.
STORAGE OF PREPARED MEDIA
METHOD OF ISOLATION
POUR PLATING
*Serial Dilution : A serial dilution is the stepwise dilution of a substance in solution. 1ml / 1 gm from
master sample is transferred to tube containing 9ml autoclaved distilled or deionized water. Then
transfer from first tube to second and so on. Be sure to mix the distilled or deionized water in each tube
before each serial transfer.
Calculation: Number of colonies on plate x reciprocal of dilution of sample = number of bacteria/ml
(for example, if 32 colonies are on a plate of 1/10,000 dilution, then the count is 32 x 10, 000 = 320,000 /ml in sample.)
2. Inoculate labelled empty petri dish with specified mL (0.1 or 1.0 mL) of diluted specimen.
3. Collect one bottle of sterile molten agar. Hold the bottle in the right hand; remove the cap with the
little finger of the left hand.
4. Flame the neck of the bottle.

6. Flame the neck of the bottle and replace the cap.
7. Gently rotate the dish to mix the culture and the medium thoroughly and to ensure that the medium
covers the plate evenly. Do not slip the agar over the edge of the petri dish.
8. Allow the agar to completely gel without disturbing it, it will take approximately 10 minutes.
9. Seal and incubate the plate in an inverted position at 37°C for 24-48 hours.
1. Prepare serial dilutions of the autoclaved distilled or deionized water as shown in Figure 1.
2. Pipette out 0.1 ml from the appropriate desired dilution series onto the centre of the surface of an agar
plate.
3. Dip the L-shaped glass spreader into alcohol.
4. Flame the glass spreader (hockey stick) over a Bunsen burner.
5. Spread the sample evenly over the surface of agar using the sterile glass spreader, carefully rotating
the Petri dish underneath at the same time.

Streak Plate Technique
Streaking is a technique used to isolate a pure strain from a single species of microorganism, mostly
bacteria. This technique is also called as “picking colonies” which useful when you need to separate
organisms in a mixed culture or when you need to study the colony morphology of an organism. Usually
by the third or fourth quadrant only a few organisms are transferred which will give discrete colony
forming units (CFUs).
1. Sterilize the inoculating loop in the bunsen burner by putting the loop into the flame until it is red hot.
Allow it to cool.
2. Pick an isolated colony from the agar plate culture and spread it over the first quadrant using close
parallel streaks.
3. Immediately streak the inoculating loop very gently over a quarter of the plate using a back and forth
motion.
4. Flame the loop again and allow it to cool. Going back to the edge of area 1 that you just streaked,
extend the streaks into the second quarter of the plate.
5. Similarly, extend the streaks into the third quarter and fourth quarter of the plate.
32. Alkaline glassware, overheating, incomplete mixing, impure water,
repeated remelting, prolonged storage at high temperature, pH taken at
wrong temperature, pH equipment faulty or poorly standardized.
