BS EN 15786:2009EN 15786:2009 (E) 4 Introduction This methodology has been developed to enumerate probiotic pediococci to enable the European Commission to control proper labelling of animal feeding products (EU project

16、 SMT4-CT98-2235 “Methods for the official control of probiotics (microorganisms) used as feed additives”) 1. The described methodology was validated in an interlaboratory study 2. BS EN 15786:2009EN 15786:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines general rules for the enumeration of probioti

17、c pediococci in feed samples (additives, premixtures and feeding stuffs) that contain pediococci as a single bacterial component or in a mixture with other microorganisms. This standard is not applicable for mineral feeds which are defined as complementary feeding stuffs composed mainly of minerals

18、and containing at least 40% crude ash (Council Directive 79/373/EEC) 3. There are different categories of feed samples: a) Additives containing about 1010(colony forming units) CFU/g b) Premixtures containing about 108CFU/g c) Feeds, meal or pellets, which contain about 106CFU/g and include complete

19、 feeding stuffs, and milk replacers. The detection limit is as defined in EN ISO 7218. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of

20、 the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 6887-1, Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - Preparation of test samples, initial suspension and decimal dilutions for microbiological examination - Part 1: General rules for the preparation of the initial suspension and

21、 decimal dilutions (ISO 6887-1:1999) EN ISO 7218, Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs - General requirements and guidance for microbiological examinations (ISO 7218:2007) ISO 6498, Animal feeding stuffs Preparation of test samples 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document,

22、 the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 pediococci (described by their characteristics as used for this standard) pediococci are characterised as bacteria which form colonies fitting the description of these species on the specified media after incubation of 24 h to 48 h for MRSA, AMRSA and

23、MRSA+TTC and 24 h for Pediococcus selective medium at a temperature of 37 C under anaerobic conditions 4. Morphology of colonies on agar plates: a) circular; b) convex; c) entire; BS EN 15786:2009EN 15786:2009 (E) 6 d) white; e) glistening surface; f) opaque. Colony size varies between 1 mm and 3 mm

24、 in diameter. Phase contrast microscopical examination of selected colonies shows that cells are spherical arranged in pairs or tetrads. 4 Principle a) Preparation of sterile and dry poured agar plates. b) Drawing a representative test sample under sterile conditions. c) Preparation of the initial s

25、uspension to obtain a homogeneous distribution of bacterial cells from the test portion. d) Preparation of further decimal dilutions of the initial suspension in order to reduce the number of microorganisms per unit volume, to allow, after incubation, the counting of colonies. e) Inoculation of the

26、prepared plates with an aliquot of the optimum dilutions and dispersion of the inoculum by using a sterile spreader. f) Incubation of inverted plates for 24 h to 48 h at 37 C 1 C, under anaerobic conditions. g) Counting of typical colonies, considering the specific properties of pediococci as listed

27、 above. h) Morphological verification of isolates within the Pediococcus genus through the use of microscope analysis. i) Calculation of the colony count per g or kg of feed sample. 5 Diluent, selective media and phenotypic characterisation 5.1 Diluents 5.1.1 Diluent for initial suspension This dilu

28、ent is used to decimally dilute the sample to prepare an initial decimally diluted sample suspension (10-1) in appropriate containers (e.g. universals, bottles or flasks). Phosphate buffered saline (PBS): Dissolve 8 g sodium chloride, 0,2 g potassium chloride, 1,15 g disodium hydrogen phosphate, 0,2

29、 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, pH 7,3 0,2 in 1 l of distilled water. Aliquote this saline into appropriate containers (e.g. universals, bottles or flasks). Autoclave all capped containers with the initial diluent at 121 C 1 C for 10 min. To avoid loss during autoclaving, screw cap bottles are re

30、commended. Bring the diluent to room temperature before use. Measure the pH of the diluent to ensure the suitable buffer capacity. BS EN 15786:2009EN 15786:2009 (E) 7 5.1.2 Diluent for serial dilutions This diluent is used to decimally dilute the initial sample suspension and subsequent dilutions. P

31、eptone salt solution: A peptone salt solution is made complying with EN ISO 6887-1. Compose the solution of enzymatic digest of 1 g casein such as pancreatic peptone of casein (or peptone of same quality) and 8,5 g sodium chloride) per liter (l) distilled water. Dissolve the ingredients in water. Ad

32、just the pH to 7,0 0,2 at 25 C 1 C. For decimal dilutions, prepare test tubes containing 9,0 ml 0,1 ml after sterilisation or use screw cap bottles to avoid weight loss during autoclaving. Sterilise in the autoclave for 15 min at 121 C 1 C. Bring the diluent to room temperature before use. 5.2 Media

33、 5.2.1 General Four different media are proposed: a) MRS agar b) MRS agar supplemented with Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride (TTC) c) AMRSA: Acidified MRS agar d) Selective media: MRS medium supplemented with cysteine hydrochloride, vancomycin, novobiocin and nystatin. For routine enumeration of pedio

34、cocci the use of MRS agar will be sufficient assuming that the probiotic strain is present in far higher numbers than any other microorganism. The medium is designed to encourage the growth of lactic acid bacteria such as pediococci, enterococci and lactobacilli. Selection can be made by pH adjustme

35、nt, as pediococci and lactobacilli will tolerate a lower pH than enterococci (pH 5,0 to 6,5). When enterococci are expected to be present in similar concentrations as pediococci, acidified MRS agar (AMRSA) should be used. When pediococci in combination with lactobacilli are expected, MRS agar supple

36、mented with TTC allows differentiation of colonies by different colouration after anaerobic incubation. The MRS medium supplemented with three antibiotics is selective for pediococci and should be used when the probiotic lactobacilli colony count exceeds the pediococci colony count by a factor of 50

37、 or more. 5.2.2 Composition 5.2.2.1 MRS agar The composition of the MRS agar per l of distilled water is as follows 5: 20,0 g dextrose, 10,0 g polypeptone, 10,0 g meat extract, 5,0 g yeast extract, 5,0 g sodium acetate 3xH20, 2,0 g sodium phosphate, 2,0 g tri-ammonium citrate, 1,0 g Tween 80, 0,2 g

38、magnesium sulphate 7xH2O, 0,05 g manganese sulphate 4xH2O, agar 15,0 g, pH 6,2 0,2. 5.2.2.2 MRS agar supplemented with TTC Sterilise MRS agar (5.2.2.1) by autoclaving at 121 C 1 C for 15 min. Supplement with 1 ml of a filter sterilised 1 g/100 ml water solution of Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride (TTC

39、) per 100 ml MRS agar. BS EN 15786:2009EN 15786:2009 (E) 8 5.2.2.3 AMRSA Acidified MRS agar can be obtained by adjusting the pH of MRS agar (see 5.2.2.1) to 5,4 0,1 with HCl prior to autoclaving. 5.2.2.4 Selective medium MRS agar supplemented with 0,05% cysteine hydrochloride. The medium is suppleme

40、nted with 10 g/ml vancomycin, 0,1 g/ml novobiocin and 50 U/ml nystatin. 5.2.3 Preparation 5.2.3.1 MRS agar Suspend all ingredients in distilled water and sterilise by autoclaving at 121 C 1 C for 15 min. 5.2.3.2 MRS agar supplemented with TTC Prepare 1 g Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride (TTC) in 100 m

41、l water and filter sterilise. Add 1 ml per 100 ml MRS agar medium (see 5.2.3.1) which is temperated at 48 C 1 C after autoclaving. NOTE TTC is destroyed by autoclaving. 5.2.3.3 AMRSA Adjust the pH of MRS agar with HCl to 5,4 0,1 prior to autoclaving. Sterilise at 121 C 1 C for 15 min. 5.2.3.4 Select

42、ive medium Prepare MRS medium with cysteine hydrochloride according to the manufacturers directions. Autoclave the medium for 15 min at 121 C 1 C. Melt the medium the day before use and keep at 48 C 1 C. Add the selective agents from filter-sterilised stocks to the medium immediately before pouring.

43、 Pour approximately 15 ml portions of medium into each Petri dish (6.12) under sterile conditions and spread to give a homogeneous layer. Add filter sterilised (0,45 m pore-size) selective agents, vancomycin (10 g/ml), novobiocin (0,1 g/ml), and nystatin (50 U/ml), to sterile molten media held at 48

44、C, prior to plate pouring and drying. Warning Care is needed in preparing the novobiocin stock as levels above 0,1 g/ml may be inhibitory to the probiotic pediococci component. At a concentration lower than 0,1 g/ml the probiotic lactobacilli component may not be inhibited. A stock solution of 10 g/

45、ml should be made through a series of ten-fold dilutions from an initial 1 mg/ml stock. Stack plates when the medium has solidified, and dryd in an incubator at 37 C for approximately 12 h. Check the dried plates for possible loss of sterility. 5.3 Phenotypic characterisation Characteristic appearan

46、ce of the pediococci under phase contrast microscopy is spherical cells arranged in pairs or tetrads. A test for catalase is done with a drop of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on a colony. The formation of bubbles is a positive reaction. Only catalase negative colonies are considered as Pediococcus. 6 App
