Microorganisms and performance criteria for selective isolation media 'MKTTn broth' used in Water quality microbiology according to ISO 11133.
ISO 19250 (2013) medium: MKTTn broth
-
Qualitative control of Productivity
- Use a quantitative reference material or test suspension with a known number of Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis and Escherichia coli.
- Inoculate one tube of test medium with < 100 cells of target microorganisms and with >103 cells of non-target organisms.
- Incubate at 36 °C ± 2 °C for 24 h ± 3 h.
- Remove 10 µl and streak to a plate of specific medium for the target organism.
- Incubate at 36 °C ± 2 °C for 24 h ± 3 h.
- Growth of target microorganisms should reach ">10 characteristic colonies on XLD agar or other medium of choice" with a characteristic reaction of: Characteristic colonies according to each medium (see ISO 6579).
-
Qualitative control of Selectivity
- Use a quantitative reference material or test suspension with a known number of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis.
- Inoculate one tube of test medium with >103 cells of non-target organisms.
- Incubate at 36 °C ± 2 °C for 24 h ± 3 h.
- Remove 10 µl and streak to a plate of reference medium (TSA).
- Incubate at 36 °C ± 2 °C for 24 h ± 3 h.
- Growth of non-target microorganisms should comply with the criteria: "Partial inhibition ≤100 colonies on TSA".
