Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a selective and/or differential growth medium for isolating Vibrio cholerae (Vibrio cholerae) and a method for isolating and/or identifying and/or selectively growing Vibrio cholerae from a sample.
Introduction to the invention
Vibrio cholerae is one of the members of the Vibrionaceae (Vibrionaceae) family and is a facultatively anaerobic gram-negative bacterium. Most species of Vibrio are ubiquitous in estuary and marine environments, although Vibrio has been identified in fresh water, provided that there is a certain minimum level of sodium ions present 1 。
Of particular importance, ingestion of water or food contaminated with certain strains of Vibrio cholerae can lead to cholera, which can cause acute diarrhea, and if left untreated can lead to death within hours. Researchers estimated that 140 to 430 ten thousand cases annually worldwide and 28000 to 142000 people die from cholera 2 . Providing safe drinking water and environmental sanitation is critical to prevent the transmission of this extremely deadly disease.
Vibrio cholerae can be serologically classified based on its Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O antigen. In fact, more than two hundred serogroups of Vibrio cholerae exist in the aquatic environment, identified as Vibrio cholerae O1 to O200, based on the antigenicity of the O antigen. However, of these two hundred different serotypes, only the O1 and O139 strain subgroups were pathogenic 3 . Furthermore, pathogenic O1 serogroups are subdivided into two phenotypically distinct biotypes, eltolype and classical. These two biotypes can be further subdivided into two serotypes, the rice leaf type and the small Sichuan type. These serotypes are distinguished in agglutination and vibrio antibody tests based on their primary thermostable LPS thallus antigen. Cholera flora has a common antigen a, whereas serotypes are distinguished by type-specific antigens, B is a small sichuan type and C is a rice leaf type. It is widely believed that O139 originates from the Eertoto biotype, but loses the characteristic O1 cell antigen and at the same time gains the ability to produce polysaccharide capsules 4 。
Prior to 1992, cholera was thought to be caused only by the leaf and small forms of rice, but in 1992 cholera caused by O139 appeared in india and bangladesh in epidemic proportions. However, despite the devastating disease caused by the O139 serogroup, the eltropism strain remains the globally dominant strain 3 . Other serogroups of Vibrio cholerae can cause diarrheaDiseases and other pathologies, but not epidemic cholera.
The vessel collects ballast water to adjust its stability. However, the discharge of ballast water at ports has become a cause of geographic migration of a large number of non-local and undesirable organisms (such as vibrio cholerae) that have a significant impact on human health worldwide. It is this risk of history proving that the International Maritime Organization (IMO) was forced to pass the international convention for ballast water and sediment control and management (International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments) (BWM) on 14 th 2004. BWM aims to prevent the spread of pathogenic organisms from one region to another by establishing standards and procedures for managing and controlling ship ballast water and sediment. In particular, rule D-2 of the convention establishes a numerical ballast water discharge standard for a particular microorganism. For Vibrio cholerae toxigenic (O1 and O139), this limit is less than 1 colony forming unit (cfu) per 100 ml or less than 1cfu per 1 gram (wet weight) zooplankton sample 5 . Compliance is required throughout the use of the vessel. Furthermore, typically the test cannot be performed on board the ship, but rather the sample needs to be sent to a laboratory. This can be particularly difficult in remote areas. In addition, laboratory testing is often slow, forcing the vessel to stay long in port, causing serious shipping disruption, and prohibitively expensive.
Thus, there is a need for a simple and effective test that is capable of rapidly detecting very small amounts (< 1CFU/ml or <1 CFU/g) of specifically virulent O1 or O139 vibrio cholerae in ballast water.
Once the pathogenic vibrio cholerae is released at the port, it can be rapidly transmitted through the faecal route, especially in areas of poor hygienic condition. In this regard, rapid bacteriological diagnosis is critical to preventing potential epidemic outbreaks. Also, there is a need for a rapid diagnostic test that can specifically identify pathogenic vibrio cholerae in a patient population.
Currently, vibrio cholerae is isolated and identified, typically by spreading the sample on a selection, usually in a bacteriology laboratory due to its rapid growth and characteristic morphologyOn sexual medium. One such common selective medium is thiosulfate-citrate-cholate agarose agar (TCBS), in which vibrio cholerae can be identified as a distinct yellow colony. However, the medium cannot distinguish between virulent and non-virulent vibrio cholerae, and the reliability of the medium has been questioned. In addition, TCBS can also be used for isolation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which means that clear identification of pathogenic Vibrio cholerae is not possible without further testing 4 . Subsequently, some alternative media have been proposed and developed, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate-polymyxin-sucrose (SPS) agar and CPC agar 5 . Subsequent tests may include agglutination tests involving specific antisera or the use of oxidase reactions, indole reactions, sugar fermentation reactions and gelatinase, lysine, arginine and ornithine decarboxylase reactions. Alternatively, the presence of a particular bacterium may be detected using genetic methods such as PCR.
Thus, there is a need for a selective growth medium that is selective not only for Vibrio cholerae, but even more specifically for pathogenic or toxic forms of Vibrio cholerae. In addition, there is a need for a selective growth medium that is effective in selectively and rapidly growing (and thereby identifying) a virulent form of Vibrio cholerae from a sample of lower potential bacterial count, such as in ballast water or in patients with cholera, and more particularly in patients recovering from cholera. The present invention addresses this need.

In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for isolating and/or identifying and/or selectively growing Vibrio cholerae toxigenic from a sample, the method comprising inoculating the sample into a growth medium as described above.
As used herein, "isolation" may refer to the identification or growth of at least one Colony Forming Unit (CFU) of at least one type of vibrio cholerae toxigenic as described herein.
In particular, the method may comprise
a. Inoculating a sample into a growth medium as described herein;
b. incubating the growth medium to allow growth of Vibrio cholerae; and

In one embodiment, the sample is incubated for between 6 and 24 hours, preferably at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, at least 10 or at least 12 or at least 24 hours, and at a temperature between 10 and 43 ℃, preferably 37 ℃.
In one embodiment, the presence of Vibrio cholerae toxigenic can be detected by counting the number of colonies growing on the surface of an agar plate. Such techniques are well known to the skilled person. Alternatively, the presence or absence of growth may be measured by analyzing the turbidity and/or color of the culture broth in bijou. This is also a standard microbiological technique.
In one embodiment, the sample is water. Preferably, the water is seawater or potable water. In a particular embodiment, the sample is ballast water. In an alternative embodiment, the sample is a clinical sample, meaning that the sample is taken from a patient suffering from cholera, considered to suffer from cholera or recovering from cholera. In a particular embodiment, the sample is a fecal sample.
We have previously described a system for monitoring the metabolism/growth of microorganisms that includes a sealed chamber with a flexible membrane to provide a sensitive pressure measurement of the gas pressure in the headspace above the culture broth. Reference may be made in particular to, for example, US2005/0170497 (incorporated by reference). Here we describe such a system that can be used in conjunction with the growth medium to detect the presence of Vibrio cholerae toxigenic (called Speedy Breedey TM ). Thus, in one embodiment, the method further comprises
1. Inoculating a sample, preferably 50ml of the sample, into at least one container or vessel containing a growth medium as described above; and
2. loading container(s) into Speedy Breedy TM In the instrument.
Fig. 1 provides an example of a detailed scheme for detecting the presence of vibrio cholerae in ballast water using the system described above.
Preferably, the volume of the sample is 50ml, for example if the sample is water. When the sample is filtered prior to testing, any volume of water may be used, and the filter element (cartridge) is then placed in the container and topped up with 50ml of sterile water. If the sample is tested directly, 50ml is added to the Speedy Breedy TM In a container. The sample may also be diluted, but Speedy Breedy TM Must always be 50ml. For example, 1ml of the sample may be diluted with 49ml of sterile water. For example, for fecal samples, about 1g of the sample may be mixed with 49ml of sterile water for use in a Speedy Breedy TM And (3) testing. For ballast water, a volume of 100ml was filtered and the filter was placed in a vessel and topped up with 50ml of sterile water. However, if the sample is blood, sterile water may be added to the sample to bring the total volume to 50ml。
In other aspects of the invention, there is provided an agar plate comprising a petri dish and a growth medium as described above, wherein the basal medium comprises agar and is thus an agar foundation. Thus, in one embodiment, there is provided an agar plate comprising an agar base, a salt, a nitrogen source, and a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor and/or a polymyxin as defined above. Such agar plates can be used to selectively grow Vibrio cholerae, which is toxic.
In a further aspect of the invention there is provided the use of a selective and/or differential growth medium as described above for isolating and/or identifying and/or selectively growing Vibrio cholerae produced from a sample.
In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of identifying the presence of Vibrio cholerae in ballast water, the method comprising obtaining a sample of ballast water, inoculating the sample into a growth medium as described herein, and detecting the presence of Vibrio cholerae toxigenic. Preferably, the method is capable of detecting at least one colony forming unit (cfu) and preferably per 50ml or 100ml of ballast water. Alternatively, the method is capable of detecting at least one cfu per gram weight of zooplankton sample.
In other aspects of the invention, there is provided a method of diagnosing cholera in a patient, the method comprising obtaining a sample from said patient, inoculating the sample into the above-described medium, and detecting the presence of vibrio cholerae. In an alternative embodiment, a method of diagnosing cholera in a patient is provided, the method comprising inoculating a sample taken from the patient into the above-described medium, and detecting the presence of vibrio cholerae. The presence of Vibrio cholerae in the sample is indicative of a disease. Preferably, at least one colony forming unit is identified.
In a final aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for distinguishing between toxigenic O1 (preferably of the type She Xieqing) and toxigenic O139, the method comprising
a. Inoculating the sample into a growth medium, wherein the growth medium comprises at least one polymyxin described herein;
b. incubating a growth medium as described herein to allow growth of Vibrio cholerae O1, preferably rice She Xieqing; and
c. the presence of Vibrio cholerae O1, preferably of the type She Xieqing, is detected.
In the above embodiment, we have shown that in the medium described herein comprising polymyxins, preferably colistin (also known as polymyxin E), vibrio cholerae O1, which is toxigenic, will grow, whereas Vibrio cholerae O139 cannot. Thus, the growth of microorganisms on this medium is indicative of the presence of Vibrio cholerae O1 and can be used to distinguish between the serotypes of Vibrio cholerae in a sample. In one embodiment, the O1-producing vibrio cholerae is a rice leaf serotype.
Samples are defined above.
As used herein, "and/or" should be considered as a particular disclosure of each of two particular features or components, with or without the other. For example, "a and/or B" should be considered a specific disclosure of each of (i) a, (ii) B, and (iii) a and B, as if each were individually listed herein.
In describing the ranges, it is intended that the endpoints of each range and any values falling between the endpoints are disclosed. For example, a range of 10 to 20mg/L includes 10 and 20mg/L, as well as any amount falling between 10 and 20 mg/L.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the description and definition of the features above is not limited to any particular aspect or embodiment of the invention, and applies equally to all aspects and embodiments described.
Example 1
The panel of microorganisms used for the initial test medium-antibiotic mixture is as follows:
vibrio cholerae toxigenic O1 (rice leaf type) H151220006
Vibrio cholerae toxigenic O139H151220002
Vibrio cholerae O1H151220003 non-toxigenic
Vibrio parahaemolyticus H151220010
Vibrio mimicus H151220007
Vibrio vulnificus H130860068
Vibrio cholerae non-O1, O139H151220001
Vibrio cholerae O1 (Xiaochuan) H151220005
Vibrio cholerae toxigenic O139E099892
Vibrio alginolyticus H151220011
Vibrio fluvialis H151220008
Growth medium
The resulting formulation showing the best selectivity for Vibrio cholerae produced consists of basal medium with antibiotics added.
Basic formula
5g/L Bacto peptone (Oxoid LP 0037)
15g/L sodium chloride
32.54g/L CPC-agar (base) (Sigma 17134) *
Antibiotics
175mg/L trimethoprim (Sigma 92131)
And preferably 2mg/L daptomycin (Tocres 3917) to inhibit the growth of gram-positive organisms.
We have demonstrated that the above base formulation with trimethoprim and daptomycin at least 35mg/L, and more preferably 55mg/L and most preferably between 175-300mg/L, allows the growth of all of the Vibrio cholerae strains in this study while completely inhibiting the growth of E.coli, E.faecalis, P.aeruginosa, S.aureus and B.cereus, as well as Vibrio cholerae and other vibrio paravorus.
(composition of CPC-agar (base))
Pepsin digest of animal tissue 10g/L
Beef extract 5g/L
Cellobiose 15g/L
Sodium chloride 20g/L
Bromothymol blue 0.04g/L
Cresol red 0.04g/L
(optional) agar 15g/L
To date, trimethoprim used in the test was initially used as an additive, which was prepared by mixing with dH2O and filter-sterilizing through a 0.2um filter (up to VM122 medium). The test from VM123 medium was characterized by trimethoprim as the powder encapsulated with the remaining ingredients. Since trimethoprim is only partially soluble in water, this clearly causes a difference in the actual concentration of trimethoprim available in the medium, both when added as a liquid after filter sterilization and when added directly as a powder.
Our project progressively showed that the use of a concentration of trimethoprim with the basal medium listed above achieves unique selectivity for Vibrio cholerae toxigenic in the group of closely related organisms listed above. The number of combinations of media tested was distinguished using the letter "VM" as a prefix and tested in ascending numerical order. By the time culture medium VM97 was tested, the desired effect of trimethoprim was evident. The following are the test results of VM98-VM105, which investigated the effect of various concentrations of trimethoprim bound to basal medium on selection cultures in our test group.
Table 1: test Medium VM98 through VM105
Culture medium | mg/L trimethoprim |
VM98 | 5 |
VM99 | 10 |
VM100 | 15 |
VM101 | 20 |
VM102 | 25 |
VM103 | 35 |
VM104 | 45 |
VM105 | 55 |

The above results clearly show that increasing the concentration of trimethoprim in the medium effectively inhibited the growth of all strains except the strain of Vibrio cholerae, which is virulent. The results also show that absolute selectivity to Vibrio cholerae can be achieved once a 35mg/L trimethoprim concentration in CPC-PBS basis is reached.
Example 2
Increasing the concentration of trimethoprim in the CPC-PBS base gives a better opportunity to inhibit the growth of other gram negative strains, such as e.
Table 3: test Medium VM114 through VM118
Table 4: test Medium VM119 through VM122
These results show that even inclusion of 250mg/L trimethoprim allows good reproducible growth of all virulent vibrio cholerae in our group. Note that this level of trimethoprim when tested as a "solution" of trimethoprim in sterile deionized H2O, which was then filtered through a 0.2 μm filter-trimethoprim is known to be quite poorly soluble in water.

The strain tested above was a strain closely related to Vibrio cholerae. While it is of paramount importance to design a selective medium that excludes closely related strains, it is also important to conduct tests on a wider range of microorganisms to ensure that the final medium excludes the growth of microorganisms that are highly diverse. In fact, marine and estuary waters often contain a large number of Pseudomonas species in addition to Flavobacterium (Flavobacterium) and Photobacterium (Photobacterium).
For this purpose, tests were also carried out to examine whether the basal medium+trimethoprim inhibited the growth of E.coli, P.aeruginosa, E.faecalis and S.aureus.
Bactest selectivity test using 50% CPC+50% peptone salt broth+55 mg/L trimethoprim.
Introduction to the invention&Target object
55mg/L in our Vibrio cholerae medium base is considered the highest concentration of trimethoprim tested in medium batch VM98-VM105, which is fully selective for all Vibrio cholerae toxigenic tested in the Vibrio group.
In order to test the selectivity of the medium with respect to strains such as E.coli and enterococcus, the following experiments were set up.
Method
1. The following strains were grown on TSA plates and resuspended in sterile dH2O to give 100cfu per 10 μl (using od600=0.5=10) 8 cfu/ml, for calculation):
coli PHE Lenticule CRM09001H, batch 1233-14
Enterococcus faecalis PHE Lenticule CRM00775H, batch 1246-14
2. 4ml of: autoclaved 50% cpc agar (Sigma 17134) (filtered through filter paper) +50% peptone salt broth (peptone 3% salt broth=10 g/L baco peptone, 30g/L sodium chloride), to which 0.2 μm filtered trimethoprim in dH2O was added-poured into each of 9 sterile bijou bottles.
3. Each of the 3 bijous flasks was incubated with 100. Mu.l of E.coli suspension, each of the 3 bijous flasks was incubated with 100. Mu.l of enterococcus suspension, and each of the 3 bijous flasks was incubated with 100. Mu.l of sterile dH 2O.
4. Mu.l of each bacterial suspension plate was plated on TSA plates in duplicate.
5. Plates and bijous were incubated overnight at 37 ℃ and the number of colonies on each plate was recorded, as well as the presence or absence of growth (turbidity) and the color of the broth in each bijous.
Results (after 24 hours incubation)
Table 8: results of E.coli and enterococcus growth
These results indicate that our Vibrio cholerae medium containing 55mg/L trimethoprim does not support the growth of E.coli, but that enterococcus faecalis does grow in this medium. We see that in the above test, the concentration of trimethoprim in the experiment inhibited enterococcus growth 18hr before the test, after which growth was more pronounced. Vibrio cholerae at the same cfu level grew faster in this medium, and showed significant cloudy growth by 16 hr. This suggests that higher concentrations of trimethoprim (provided that it does not inhibit vibrio cholerae) can successfully inhibit the growth of enterococci. Taking into account the time difference between the growth of two organisms in the medium, we can configure a Speedy Breedy TM Protocol/test protocol such that it provides sufficient time for the growth of Vibrio cholerae, which is toxic, while other microorganisms do not.
Pseudomonas is not halophil, but our medium contains a total of 3.5% salts, which may be sufficient to inhibit the growth of Pseudomonas (Effect of Salinity on Growth and PGPR Activity of Pseudomonads', deshwal et al Journal of Academia and Industrial Research (JAIR), volume 2,Issue 6November 2013: "No strains survived in 3%NaCI concentration").
Our results show that all of the Vibrio cholerae strains in our group grew well in the presence of 250mg/L trimethoprim (dissolved in sterile dH2O and filtered) in 50% CPC:50% peptone salt broth base (VM 122). The medium was also tested with E.coli, enterococci and Pseudomonas to check if the mix completely inhibited the growth of these bacteria. Strains (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were prepared as described above and tested in VM122 as described above.
Results
Table 9: results of E.coli ATCC11775, enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth
The above results indicate that none of the bacteria listed above grew in VM122 at 16 hours. This indicates that the increased concentration of trimethoprim in this medium (250 mg/L, added as stock solution of antibiotic in sterile dH2O filtered through a 0.2 μm filter) is a level sufficient to prevent growth of e.coli and enterococci at 16 hours. 16 hours is likely to be a sufficient test time for cholera testing because Vibrio cholerae produced grows well in VM122 at 16 hours. The growth of Pseudomonas in this medium was also completely inhibited, and this was probably due to the concentration of salts in the medium.
We have also found that at 17 hours VM122 was shown to be 10 in 4ml of culture broth 2 The inoculum of staphylococcus aureus did not grow.
Table 10: results of Staphylococcus aureus
We next tested whether the culture medium with daptomycin added could also inhibit the growth of bacillus cereus.
Table 11: results of Bacillus cereus growth
Example 5:
the testing method comprises the following steps:
1. a slightly turbid suspension of each organism in sterile dH2O was prepared and the OD600 was measured.
Organisms used:
bacillus cereus (Selectrol disc NCTC 7464/ATCC 10876)
Staphylococcus aureus (NCTC 6571)
Coli (NCTC 9001)
Enterococcus faecalis (NCTC 775)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCTC 10662)
2. OD600 0.5=10 was used 8 cfu/ml * The suspension was further diluted in sterile dH2O to give a concentration of approximately 100cfu/100 μl.
3. To each of the 12 vessels of each medium was added 50ml of sterile dH2O.
4. Batch 100002 of Vibrio cholerae medium (final formulation VM123, including daptomycin as a dry powder) was used in 5 parts per container of the package, and filled with 50ml of sterile dH2O per container.
5. For each bacteria, 100. Mu.l of 100cfu/100ml suspension was used and the vessel of each medium was inoculated in duplicate.
6. Mu.l of sterile dH2O used as diluent was added to each of the two remaining containers of each medium as a negative control.
7. Mu.l of each bacterial suspension plate for inoculation was plated on TSA plates, in duplicate and incubated at 37 ℃.
8. In Speedy belts TM In run speed Breedy TM The container was subjected to Vibrio cholerae regimen (24 hr).
9. The next day record Speedy Breedy TM Detection time, color of culture broth, and cfu plate count. (if necessary, incubating the plates of Staphylococcus aureus for at least 48 hr). * Note that bacillus cereus is a larger organism, and that od600=0.25 is close to 106cfu/ml.
Table 12: selectivity of growth Medium Using Speedy Breedy TM
It can be seen that the growth medium prevented the growth of all organisms tested. At 24hr, there were no apparent test results in the Speedy Breedy vibrio toxigenic vibrio cholerae test except for the vibrio toxigenic vibrio cholerae.
Further tests were established as described above at a target 10cfu per vessel using the following strains:
enterococcus faecalis (NCTC 775)
Enterococcus faecalis NCTC 12697/ACTC 29212
Bacillus cereus (Selectrol disc NCTC 7464/ATCC 10876)
Results
Table 13: results of enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus cereus growth
Summary
In any combination of basal medium+trimethoprim tested, the growth time of the Vibrio cholerae strain was very fast, at-7 hr in Speedy Breedy TM And 100cfu. Assume otherStrains will grow in the final medium, it is important that they grow slower (and are extremely slow) so that the test time can be configured to detect only Vibrio cholerae which is toxigenic.
EXAMPLE 6 CPC-agar and polymyxin
CPC-agar (Sigma 17134) was filtered through gauze (to remove agar) and then sterilized by filtration through a 0.2 μm filter. The following additives were added to the filter sterilized medium and the medium was encoded with the indicated VM numbers.
Concentration of additives: 25mg/L of trimethoprim, 108.8mg/L of colistin mesylate, 4.26mg/L of polymyxin B sulfate and 5g/L of sodium taurocholate.
Table 14: preparation of colistin culture medium
An inoculum suspension of cells was prepared for each organism by hanging bacterial growth from a blood agar plate and inoculating 5ml of 3% saline peptone culture and incubating on a shaking incubator at 37 ℃ until growth was sufficient, typically about 2-4 hours.
First, 1ml of this solution was dispensed into an Eppendorf cuvette (cuvette) and placed on a Eppendorf Biophotometer spectrophotometer to measure absorbance at a wavelength of 600 nm. McFarland densitometer DEN-1[Grant Instruments Ltd was used as a reference to achieve consistent cell densities among different strains while the McFarland standard set up was performed at 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 MF-units. Once the measured absorbance is around 1,000, the solution is diluted and compared to McFarland standards until 0.5 MF-unit is reached. Physiological saline was used as a diluent because it was measured as 0.0 MF-unit without providing interference unlike 3% saline peptone, which was measured as 0.3 MF-unit.
/>
* At a wavelength of 600nm
However, this method does not reach the required 100 cfu/100. Mu.l, since there is 10 at 0.5 MF-units 8 Cell density. Therefore, for the medium from VM2, the inoculated peptone culture broth was dispensed into a test tube of physiological saline once grown sufficiently. One point growth (i.e., 100. Mu.l) was added at a time and then measured on a McFarland densitometer, more broth was added to the saline until 0.5 MF-units were measured. The solution measured as 0.5 MF-units is equal to 108 cfu/100. Mu.l, so serial dilutions are required to reach 103 cfu/100. Mu.l. 5 dilutions 1:10 were performed (10 -1 To 10 -2 To 10 -3 To 10 -4 To 10 -5 )。
For each Vibrio species, at 10 3 cfu/100. Mu.l (equal to 100 cfu) 100. Mu.l of the diluted solution was inoculated into two bijoux containing 2ml of VM medium. Duplicate controls were included, which contained 2ml VM medium +100 μl 3% saline peptone medium (not inoculated). 100 μl of the diluted solution (103 cfu/100 μl) was also used to inoculate Difco agar plates using a spread plate technique, which was used to count cfu after inoculation. The bijoux and plates were incubated for 16 hours at 37 ℃.
The next day cfu on Difco plates were counted and bijoux tubes were scored for growth (presence or absence). The color of the culture medium present in the incubator was recorded.
Results
Table 15: results of VM31 through VM39
As can be seen from the table above, the addition of at least colistin to the medium described herein allows the growth of toxigenic O1 (rice leaf type), but interestingly, does not allow the growth of toxigenic O139. Thus, the above-described culture medium can be used for selection between virulent strains of Vibrio cholerae, i.e.between the O1 and O139 serotypes, in particular the O1 rice leaf type.
General method
Medium specificity test-various Medium
1. Each medium was tested in duplicate with each strain listed using the following protocol:
vibrio cholerae toxigenic O1 (two different strains)
Vibrio cholerae toxigenic O139 (two different strains)
Vibrio cholerae (non-O1/non-O139)
Vibrio vulnificus
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Vibrio mimicus
Vibrio alginolyticus
Vibrio fluvialis (V.fluvial)
2. A suspension of the cell inoculum in peptone (3%) medium was prepared and 100cfu/100 μl inoculum was used per bijou. Each vibrio species was inoculated in duplicate into 2ml aliquots of medium in bijou. A duplicate of 2ml control for each medium was included and "inoculated" with 100. Mu.l of peptone salt broth as a negative control.
3. Mu.l of the cell suspension was plated onto peptone agar (or other suitable agar) plates, in duplicate, and incubated as required for colony counting. At the end of the test cfu, temperature and time of plate incubation were recorded.
4. Following inoculation, bijou is incubated at an appropriate temperature for an appropriate period of time to enable observation of the presence or absence of growth. The time and temperature of incubation bijou, and the presence or absence of growth and any color change, were recorded.
