[Detailed description of the invention]. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medium composition for testing the nitrate reducing ability of microorganisms. More specifically, the present invention relates to a medium composition for testing the nitrate reducing ability of glucose non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli. In order to provide appropriate treatment for bacterial infections, it is important to identify the pathogen, conduct susceptibility tests, and determine effective drugs against the pathogen. When identifying such pathogenic bacteria, a multi-item biochemical property test is performed, and one of the items is a test for nitrate-reducing ability of glucose non-fermenting Gram-negative rods. This method utilizes the nitrate-reducing ability of the above-mentioned bacteria to identify the bacteria. The medium composition of the present invention is suitably used for such tests. Prior Art and its Problems The nitrate reduction reaction is a reaction in which nitrate in a medium is reduced to nitrite, and a nitrate broth medium having the following composition has conventionally been used. Nitrate bouillon medium Meat extract 3g Peptone 5g Potassium nitrate 1g Distilled water 1000ml PH6.8 For testing, inoculate the test bacteria into the above nitrate bouillon medium and culture at 30°C for 20 to 48 hours. The presence or absence of nitrate reducing ability of the test bacteria is determined by adding sulfanilic acid and α-naphthylamine to the culture solution.
A red substance produced when nitrite is present
Determined by detecting sulfobenzene-azo-α-naphthylamine. According to the above-mentioned conventional culture medium, the reliability of determination is low in short-time culture, and long-time culture is required for accurate determination. For early treatment of bacterial infections, it is necessary to identify bacteria as quickly as possible, and there has been a desire for a culture medium that can identify bacteria in a shorter time. However, on the other hand, due to the convenience of testing work, there are cases where the judgment has to be made the next day, and in such cases, the culture period is not strictly regulated and the culture time may be extended for convenience. It is desirable to use a medium that does not overreact and allows accurate determination. .. Purpose of the Invention The present invention provides a medium composition for testing the nitrate reducing ability of glucose non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli, which can be identified in a short time culture and can be accurately identified even in a long time culture. The purpose is to In order to achieve such an object, the present invention has a composition of 3.125 to 50 parts of peptone, 0.625 to 10 parts of yeast extract, and 0.313 to 5 parts of a dialkali metal monohydrogen phosphate to 1.0 part of potassium nitrate (part by weight, the same applies hereinafter). A medium composition for testing the nitrate reducing ability of glucose non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli. Furthermore, the present invention comprises a medium composition for testing nitrate reducing ability, in which the dialkali metal salt of monohydrogen phosphate is disodium monohydrogen phosphate. .. Detailed Description of the Invention Potassium nitrate is a substrate in the culture medium composition of the present invention, and when it is decomposed by the test bacteria, it produces nitrite ions in the culture solution, and this change reduces the nitrate of the test bacteria. Determine ability. Peptone and yeast extract are used as nutrients. Dialkali metal monohydrogen phosphate is a pH regulator, and is set at a pH range of 6.9 to 7.1, which is optimal for bacterial growth. It is desirable that the medium composition of the present invention further contains 1.25 to 20 parts of an alkali metal salt as an osmotic pressure regulator, with alkali metal chlorides such as sodium chloride and potassium chloride being preferred. The above-mentioned component ratio of the culture medium composition of the present invention is critical, and peptone is added to 1.0 part of potassium nitrate.
3.125 to 50 parts (preferably 0.25 to 25 parts), yeast extract 0.625 to 10 parts (preferably 1.25 to 5 parts), and 0.313 to 5 parts (preferably 0.625 to 2.5 parts) of dialkali metal monohydrogen phosphate. . In particular, the peptone concentration is important; if the peptone concentration is too low, a false positive determination is likely to occur, whereas if the peptone concentration is too high, a false negative determination is likely to occur. The culture medium of the present invention has a low risk of making false positive or false negative judgments as described above, and can be cultured for a short time (4 to 5 hours) or overnight (18 to 5 hours) by appropriately selecting the number of inoculated bacteria.
The peptone concentration is set so that correct judgment can be made regardless of the time (22 hours). The medium composition of the present invention is used by dissolving 625 to 2,500 parts of potassium nitrate in sterile distilled water according to a conventional method. In recent years, it has become common for biochemical property testing to perform multiple tests simultaneously on multi-hole plates.
In such a case, an aqueous solution of the culture medium composition of the present invention is injected into the wells of a test plate and dried to obtain a dry culture medium. During the test, a predetermined amount of suspension water of test bacteria is dispensed into the well, and cultured at 30°C for a predetermined time. If it is desired to make a judgment after culturing for 4 to 5 hours, inoculate about 7.5 x 107 bacteria per 50μ of liquid medium, and if you want to make a judgment after culturing for 18 to 22 hours, about 1.5 x 107 bacteria. It is preferable to inoculate the bacteria. By adjusting the number of inoculated bacteria in this way, testing can be carried out in a short period of time or even the next day. Next, an example will be shown in which the nitrate reducing ability of bacteria was tested using the medium composition of the present invention. Example The culture medium composition of the present invention having the composition shown in Table 1 was dissolved in distilled water 1 according to a conventional method to obtain culture media 1 to 3 for bacterial identification.
