Description

The initial spore count quantity measuring method of bacstearothermophilus in a kind of biological indicator
Technical field
The present invention relates to the initial spore count quantity measuring method of bacstearothermophilus in a kind of biological indicator.
Background technology
Biological indicator is the special live microorganism goods of a class, is generally the spore of bacterium, because it has the drag determined to specific sterilising treatment, can be used for the performance confirming sterilizing device, the checking of sterilization process, the monitoring etc. of production process sterilising effect.The use of biological indicator makes sterilization monitoring means more perfect, sterilising effect is more directly perceived, effective, security height more, the every profession and trades such as medical and health-care products, health quarantine, pharmacy corporation, hospital preparation production, foodstuff production are widely used in, to assessment, the checking of the sterilising effects such as various sterile production technique, sterile product, aseptic packaging material at present.The microbial spores of some amount is comprised in biological indicator, various informative, as spore solution, gemma bar, self-contained, industrial bio indicator etc.In biological indicator, spore content is the important quality index of biological indicator.
Bacstearothermophilus (Bacillus stearothermophilus) belongs to thermophilic aerobic spore-bearing bacilli, but has the characteristic of anaerobism concurrently, and the blue Albert'stain Albert positive of bacterial propagule G is in purple, and bacterial spore Victoria Green WPB is painted.Its bacterial propagule requires low to substratum, and well-grown on purpurum bromocresolis proof agar, surface irregularity is beige.Its minimum growth temperature is 28 DEG C, maximum growth temperature 70 ~ 77 DEG C.The most suitable growth the bread worm is 56 ~ 65 DEG C, and cultivate 24h and can form bacterium colony, at 37 DEG C, 24h can't see bacterium colony.
Bacstearothermophilus is as the part in biological indicator, up to the present its initial spore quantity also do not have a set of effective measuring method, user can only understand according to the sign spore quantity of its product that dispatches from the factory, independently cannot measure according to application demand, the biological indicator especially for unknown bacstearothermophilus spore quantity is felt simply helpless especially.So market demand independently can measure the method for the initial spore quantity of bacstearothermophilus in biological indicator.
Summary of the invention
Object of the present invention is just to provide to solve the problem the initial spore count quantity measuring method of bacstearothermophilus in a kind of biological indicator.
In order to achieve the above object, present invention employs following technical scheme:

(2) above-mentioned trial-product and the sterile test tube that sterilized water is housed are carried out water-bath thermal shock jointly, bath temperature is 95-100 DEG C, and water bath time is 10-20 minute, thermometer is inserted in the sterile test tube that sterilized water is housed to measure bath temperature in the process;
(3) water-bath thermal shock complete after taking-up trial-product, be cooled to room temperature rapidly, following operation is carried out to the sterile test tube that each is equipped with a diluent: indicate initial spore quantity according to biological indicator and adopt 10 times to increase progressively dilution method, stepwise dilution obtains secondary dilution liquid to suitable gradient, this suitable gradient makes its colony number scope be 30 ~ 300cfu/ml, under the dilution level that this suitable gradient is corresponding, secondary dilution liquid two parts is drawn with aseptic technique method sterilizing suction pipe, the volume of every part is A ml, inject respectively in two sterilized petri dishes, be the soybean casein nutrient agar dissolved that (15 ~ 20) A ml temperature is no more than 450 DEG C respectively to injected slurry volume in two sterilized petri dishes again, mix, after it solidifies, two sterilized petri dishes are inverted and cultivate, culture temperature is 55 ~ 60 DEG C, incubation time is 40-60 hour,
(4) after completing cultivation, the initial spore of the bacstearothermophilus in all sterilized petri dishes is counted, be averaged all count results calculating again, result after average is again divided by the dilution level that gradient suitable described in step (3) is corresponding, obtain final initial spore quantity, complete mensuration.
As preferably, in described step (1), the biological indicator in a diluent and the volume ratio between sterilized water are 1 ﹕ 4; In described step (2), water bath time is 15 minutes; In described step (3), incubation time is 48 hours.
In described step (1), the volume often propping up a diluent in described sterile test tube is 10ml, and the quantity that the described sterile test tube of described diluent is housed is 12; In described step (3), dilution level corresponding to described suitable gradient is 10 -4, the volume of the every part of secondary dilution liquid injected in two sterilized petri dishes is respectively 1ml, and the volume of the soybean casein nutrient agar injected in each sterilized petri dishes is 15 ~ 20ml.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is:
The method of the invention is stablized feasible through checking, solve the unmeasured problem of initial spore quantity of bacstearothermophilus in former biological indicator, be convenient to user independently measures bacstearothermophilus in biological indicator initial spore quantity according to application demand, be particularly useful for the mensuration of the biological indicator of unknown bacstearothermophilus spore quantity, easy to utilize.
