The text of ISO 16649-2:2001 has been ad

8、opted in this standard without any modification. DIN ISO 16649 consists of the following parts, under the general title Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs Horizontal method for the enumeration of -glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli: Part 1: Colony-count technique at 44 C using membr

9、anes and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-D-glucuronide Part 2: Colony-count technique at 44 C using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-D-glucuronide Part 3: Most probable number technique using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-D-glucuronide (ISO/TS; Technical Specification) ISO 7218 referred to in clause 2 has not bee

12、 food and animal feeding stuffs Horizontal method for the enumeration of -glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli Part 2: Colony-count technique at 44 C using 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl -D-glucuronide IntroductionBecause of the large variety of food and feed products, this horizontal method may not

13、be appropriate in everydetail for certain products. In this case, different methods which are specific to these products may be used ifabsolutely necessary for justified technical reasons. Nevertheless, every attempt should be made to apply thishorizontal method as far as possible.When this part of

14、ISO 16649 is next reviewed, account will be taken of all information then available regarding theextent to which this horizontal method has been followed and the reasons for deviations from this method in thecase of particular products.The harmonization of test methods cannot be immediate and, for c

15、ertain groups of products, InternationalStandards and/or national standards may already exist that do not comply with this horizontal method. It is hopedthat when such standards are reviewed they will be changed to comply with this part of ISO 16649 so thateventually the only remaining departures fr

16、om this horizontal method will be those necessary for well-establishedtechnical reasons.This International Standard describes two horizontal methods (ISO 16649-1 and ISO 16649-2) for the enumerationof G62-glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli.The user may choose either ISO 16649-1 or ISO 16649-2.

17、Either part is for general application. However,ISO 16649-1 should be used for foodstuffs which may contain severely stressed cells.41 ScopeThis part of ISO 16649 specifies a horizontal method for the enumeration of G62-glucuronidase-positive Escherichiacoli in products intended for human consumptio

18、n or for the feeding of animals. It uses a colony-count techniqueat 44 C on a solid medium containing a chromogenic ingredient for detection of the enzyme G62-glucuronidase.WARNING Strains of Escherichia coli which do not grow at 44 C and, in particular, those that areG62-glucuronidase negative, suc

19、h as Escherichia coli O157, will not be detected.2 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions ofthis part of ISO 16649.

The pH-meter shall be equipped with either manual orautomatic temperature equalization.7

33、SamplingIt is important that the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representative and has not been damaged orchanged during transport or storage.Sampling is not part of the method specified in this part of ISO 16649. If there is no specific International Standard,it is recommended that the

34、parties concerned come to an agreement on this subject.8 Preparation of test samplePrepare the test sample in accordance with the specific International Standard appropriate to the productconcerned. If there is no specific International Standard available, it is recommended that the parties concerne

35、dcome to an agreement on this subject.9 Procedure9.1 Test portion, initial suspension and dilutionsSee ISO 6887-1 and any specific International Standard appropriate to the product.9.2 Inoculation and incubation9.2.1 Using a sterile pipette or a micropipette (6.5), transfer to a sterile Petri dish (

36、6.6) 1 ml of the test sample (ifliquid), or 1 ml of the initial dilution (101) in the case of other products.Inoculate two plates per dilution.Repeat the procedure with the further decimal dilutions, if necessary, using a new sterile pipette for each dilution.DIN ISO 16649-2:2009-12 79.2.2 Pour into

37、 each Petri dish approximately 15 ml of the TBX medium (5.2), previously cooled at 44Cto47Cin the water bath (6.3).Carefully mix the inoculum with the medium and allow the mixture to solidify, with the Petri dishes standing on acool horizontal surface.The time which elapses between the distribution

38、of the inoculum in a dish and pouring of the medium shall notexceed 15 min.9.2.3 Invert the inoculated dishes (9.2.2) so that the bottom is uppermost and place them in an incubator (6.2)setat44C for 18 h to 24 h. The total incubation time shall not be longer than 24 h.WARNING If the presence of stre

39、ssed cells is suspected, incubate for an initial period of 4 h at 37 C,and then raise the incubation temperature to 44 C for 18 h to 24 h. The incubation temperature shall notexceed 45 C.9.3 Counting the colony-forming unitsAfter the specified period of incubation (9.2.3) count the typical CFU of G6

40、2-glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli ineach dish containing less than 150 typical CFU and less than 300 total (typical and non-typical) CFU.If they form part of the retained dishes, the dishes containing 0 typical CFU should be taken into consideration inthe different calculation methods define

41、d in clause 10.10 Expression of results10.1 GeneralThe calculation in 10.2 takes into account those cases most frequently encountered when conducting tests inaccordance with good laboratory practice. Some special, fairly improbable, cases can arise (e.g. very different CFUnumbers between the two dis

42、hes from the same dilution, or very different proportions from that of the dilution factorbetween the dishes from two successive dilutions). It is then necessary that the counting results be examined,interpreted and possibly rejected by a competent microbiologist.10.2 CalculationFor a result to be v

43、alid, in general it is considered that it is necessary to count the CFU on at least one dishcontaining as a minimum 15 blue CFU.Calculate N, the number of CFU of G62-glucuronidase-positive Escherichia coli present in the test sample per millilitreor per gram, as the weighted mean from two successive

44、 dilutions using the following equation:12(0,1)aNVn n dG3dG2bGe5(1)whereaGe5is the sum of the CFU counted on all the dishes retained from two successive dilutions, at least one ofwhich contains a minimum 15 blue CFU;n1is the number of dishes retained at the first dilution;V is the volume of inoculum
