Microorganisms and performance criteria for non-selective liquid media 'BPW' used in Food chain microbiology according to ISO 22964.
ISO 22964 (2017) medium: BPW
-
Qualitative control of Productivity
- Use a reference material or test suspension with a known number of Cronobacter sakazakii.
- Inoculate the media (BPW) with 0.1 mL of more than 100 cfu/mL and less then 1000 cfu/mL of microorganisms.
- Incubate at (18 ± 2) h for 34 °C to 38 °C.
- Asses the amount of growth as, 0 for no turbidity, 1 for slight turbidity or 2 for good turbidity.
- For this medium (BPW) and standard (ISO 22964) combination the criteria is: "Turbidity (1–2)."
Best Practice BPW
Qualitative single tube method for performance testing of liquid media – pre-enrichment media
Control strain | WDCM number | Ref. media | Incubation | Criteria | Characteristic reaction |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cronobacter sakazakii | TSA | (18 ± 2) h for 34 °C to 38 °C | Turbidity (1–2) | Turbidity | |
