Introduction

Free Manual Solution Download

Several changes are being introduced in this edition of BAM (8th Edition). The first change involves the expanded use of Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) medium for foods with both high and low levels of competitive microflora. In the previous edition, RV medium was recommended only for the analysis of shrimp. Based on the completion of AOAC precollaborative (5, 6) and collaborative (7, 8) studies, RV medium is now being recommended for the analysis of high microbial and low microbial load foods. RV medium replaces selenite cystine (SC) broth for the analysis of all foods, except guar gum. In addition, RV medium replaces lauryl tryptose broth for use with dry active yeast. Tetrathionate (TT) broth continues to be used as the second selective enrichment broth. However, TT broth is to be incubated at 43°C for the analysis of high microbial load foods and at 35°C for the analysis of low microbial load foods, including guar gum.

The second change involves the option of refrigerating incubated preenrichments and selective enrichments of low-moisture foods for up to 72 h. With this option, sample analyses can be initiated as late as Wednesday or Thursday without weekend work being involved.

The third change involves reducing the period of incubation of the lysine iron agar (LIA) slants. In the former edition (BAM-7), triple sugar iron agar (TSI) and LIA slants were incubated at 35°C for 24 ± 2 h and 48 ± 2 h, respectively. Unpublished data have demonstrated that the 48 h reading of LIA slants is without diagnostic value. Of 193 LIA slants examined, all gave definitive results within 24 ± 2 h of incubation. No significant changes altered the final test result when the slants were incubated an additional 24 h. Thus, both the TSI and LIA slants are now incubated for 24 ± 2 h.

The fourth change involves the procedure for surface disinfection of shell eggs. In the previous edition (BAM-7), egg shells were surface-disinfected by soaking in 0.1% mercuric chloride solution for 1 h followed by soaking in 70% ethanol for 30 min. Mercuric chloride is classified as a hazardous waste, and is expensive to dispose of according to Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. In this edition (BAM-8) egg shells are now surface-disinfected by soaking for at least 10 sec in a 3:1 solution consisting of 3 parts of 70% alcohol (ethyl or isopropyl) to 1 part of iodine/potassium iodide solution.

The fifth change involves the sample preparation of eggs. Egg contents (yolk and albumen) are thoroughly mixed before analysis. After mixing the egg contents, 25 g (ml) are added to 225 ml trypticase (tryptic) soy broth supplemented with ferrous sulfate.

A method for the analysis of guar gum has been included. When guar gum is preenriched at a 1:9 sample/broth ratio, a highly viscous, nonpipettable mixture results. Addition of the enzyme cellulase to the preenrichment medium, however, results in a readily pipettable mixture.

A method for orange juice (pasteurized and unpasteurized) has been included due to recent orange juice-related outbreaks.

The directions for picking colonies from the selective plating agars have been made more explicit to reflect the intent of the method. In the absence of typical or suspect colonies on the selective plating agars, it is recommended that atypical colonies be picked to TSI and LIA slants. This recommendation is based on the fact that up to 4% of all Salmonella cultures isolated by FDA analysts from certain foods, especially seafoods, during the past several years have been atypical.

Finally, since the publication of BAM-7, a 6-way comparison was conducted of the relative effectiveness of the three selective plating agars recommended in the BAM (bismuth sulfite, Hektoen enteric, and xylose lysine desoxycholate agars) and three relatively new agars (EF-18, xylose lysine Tergitol 4, and Rambach agars). Our results (9) indicated no advantage in replacing any of the BAM-recommended agars with one or more of the newer agars. Thus, the combination of selective plating agars recommended in BAM-7 remains unchanged.

    If you are looking for BAM Chapter 5: Salmonella (December 2007 Edition) that is incorporated by reference in 21 CFR Parts 16 and 118: Federal Register Final Rule (July 9, 2009, 74 FR 33030): Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs During Production, Storage, and Transportation, please use these versions of the BAM Salmonella Chapter (PDF, 189 Kb) and Appendix 1: Rapid Methods for Detecting Foodborne Pathogens (PDF, 195 Kb). These 2 documents are also available as a combined file (PDF, 382 Kb).
    The most recent Edition of BAM Chapter 5: Salmonella continues below this notice.

    The following methods are based on the analysis of a 25 g analytical unit at a 1:9 sample/broth ratio. Depending on the extent of compositing, add enough broth to maintain this 1:9 ratio unless otherwise indicated. For samples not analyzed on an exact weight basis, e.g., frog legs, refer to the specific method for instructions.

    1. Dried egg yolk, dried egg whites, dried whole eggs, liquid milk (skim milk, 2% fat milk, whole, and buttermilk), and prepared powdered mixes (cake, cookie, doughnut, biscuit, and bread), infant formula, and oral or tube feedings containing egg. Preferably, do not thaw frozen samples before analysis. If frozen sample must be tempered to obtain analytical portion, thaw suitable portion as rapidly as possible to minimize increase in number of competing organisms or to reduce potential of injuring Salmonella organisms. Thaw below 45°C for 15 min with continuous agitation in thermostatically controlled water bath or thaw within 18 h at 2-5°C. Aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile, wide-mouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container. For nonpowdered samples, add 225 ml sterile lactose broth. If product is powdered, add about 15 ml sterile lactose broth and stir with sterile glass rod, spoon, or tongue depressor to smooth suspension. Add 3 additional portions of lactose broth, 10, 10, and 190 ml, for total of 225 ml. Stir thoroughly until sample is suspended without lumps. Cap jar securely and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature. Mix well by swirling and determine pH with test paper. Adjust pH, if necessary, to 6.8 ± 0.2 with sterile 1 N NaOH or 1 N HCl. Cap jar securely and mix well before determining final pH. Loosen jar cap about 1/4 turn and incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

    2. Eggs

      1. Shell eggs [14,15]. Eggs with chipped, cracked, or broken shells are not included in the sample. Remove any adherent material from the egg shell surface. Disinfect egg surface with a solution consisting of 3 parts of 70% alcohol (ethyl or isopropyl) to 1 part iodine/potassium iodide solution. Prepare 70% alcohol solution either by diluting 700 ml 100% alcohol with sterile distilled water for a final volume of 1,000 ml or by diluting 700 ml 95% alcohol with sterile distilled water for a final volume of 950 ml. Prepare iodine/potassium iodide solution by dissolving 100 g potassium iodide in 200-300 ml sterile distilled water. Add 50 g iodine and heat gently with constant mixing until the iodine is dissolved. Dilute the iodine/potassium iodide solution to 1,000 ml with sterile distilled water. Store iodine/potassium iodide solution in an amber glass-stoppered bottle in the dark if not used immediately. Prepare the disinfection solution by adding 250 ml iodine/potassium iodide solution to 750 ml 70% alcohol solution and mix well. Submerge eggs in disinfection solution for 10 seconds (make sure not less than 10 seconds). Remove eggs from the solution and allow to air dry. Each sample shall consist of twenty (20) eggs, for a total of fifty (50) samples per poultry house. Eggs are cracked aseptically into a 4L sterile beaker or other suitable container by gloved hands, with a change of gloves between samples. Mix samples thoroughly with a sterile tool by gloved hands until yolks are completely mixed with the albumen, with a change of gloves between samples. Preenrich the 20-egg sample by adding 2 L sterile Trypticase soy broth (TSB; room temperature) and mix well with a sterile tool. Cover securely and incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

        See SalmonellaAppendix for validation data

      2. Liquid whole eggs (homogenized). Combine fifteen (15) 25 ml test portions into a 375 ml composite contained in a 6-liter Erlenmeyer flask. Composites are held at room temperature (20-24°C) for 96 ± 2 h. After 96 ± 2 h, add 3,375 ml sterile TSB supplemented with ferrous sulfate, as described above, and mix well by swirling. Let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature. Mix well by swirling and determine pH with test paper. Adjust pH, if necessary, to 6.8 ± 0.2. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

      3. Hard-boiled eggs (chicken, duck, and others). If the egg shells are still intact, disinfect the shells as described above and aseptically separate the shells from the eggs. Pulverize the eggs (egg yolk solids and egg white solids) aseptically and weigh 25 g into a sterile 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask or other appropriate container. Add 225 ml TSB (without ferrous sulfate) and mix well by swirling. Continue as described above.

    3. Nonfat dry milk

      1. Instant. Aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile beaker (250 ml) or other appropriate container. Using sterile glass or paper funnel (made with tape to withstand autoclaving), pour 25 g analytical unit gently and slowly over surface of 225 ml brilliant green water contained in sterile 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask or other appropriate container. Alternatively, 25 g analytical units may be composited and poured over the surface of proportionately larger volumes of brilliant green water. Prepare brilliant green water by adding 2 ml 1% brilliant green dye solution per 1000 ml sterile distilled water. Let container stand undisturbed for 60 ± 5 min. Incubate loosely capped container, without mixing or pH adjustment, for 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

      2. Non-Instant. Examine as described for instant nonfat dry milk, except that the 25 g analytical units may not be composited.

    4. Dry whole milk. Examine as described for instant nonfat dry milk, except that the 25 g analytical units may not be composited.

    7. Fresh, frozen, or dried products. Preferably, do not thaw frozen samples before analysis. If frozen sample must be tempered to obtain analytical portion, thaw below 45°C for <15 min with continuous agitation in thermostatically controlled water bath or thaw within 18 h at 2-5ºC.

      1. Egg-containing products (noodles, egg rolls, macaroni, spaghetti), cheese, dough, prepared salads (ham, egg, chicken, tuna, turkey), fruits, nut meats, crustaceans (shrimp, crab, crayfish, langostinos, lobster), and fish. Aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile blending container. Add 225 ml sterile lactose broth and blend 2 min. Aseptically transfer homogenized mixture to sterile, wide-mouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature with jar securely capped. Mix well by swirling and determine pH with test paper. Adjust pH, if necessary, to 6.8 ± 0.2. Mix well and loosen jar cap about 1/4 turn. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

      2. Vegetables. Aseptically weigh 25 g sample into a sterile wide mouth Erlenmeyer flask or other appropriate container. Add 225 mL Universal Preenrichment (UP) broth (M188) and mix well by swirling. Incubate at 35º ± 2.0º C for 24 ± 2.0 hours and continue as in D, 1-11, below.

Loosen jar cap about l/4 turn and incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

      2. Onion flakes, onion powder, garlic flakes. Aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile, wide-mouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container. Preenrich sample in TSB with added K2SO3 (5 g K2SO3 per 1000 ml TSB, resulting in final 0.5% K2SO3 concentration). Add K2SO3 to broth before autoclaving 225 ml volumes in 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks at 121°C for 15 min. After autoclaving, aseptically determine and, if necessary, adjust final volume to 225 ml. Add 225 ml sterile TSB with added K2SO3 to sample and mix well. Continue as in C-10a.

      3. Allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and oregano. At this time there are no known methods for neutralizing the toxicity of these 4 spices. Dilute them beyond their toxic levels to examine them. Examine allspice, cinnamon, and oregano at 1:100 sample/broth ratio, and cloves at 1:1000 sample/broth ratio. Examine leafy condiments at sample/broth ratio greater than 1:10 because of physical difficulties encountered by absorption of broth by dehydrated product. Examine these spices as described in C-10a, above, maintaining recommended sample/broth ratios.

    20. Pig ears and other types of dog chew pieces. Place 1 piece (or 2-3 pieces if smaller sizes) from each sample unit into sterile plastic bag. Place bag into large beaker or other suitable container. Add sterile lactose broth at a 1:9 sample-to-broth (g/ml) ratio to cover pieces (see A, 23-24, above). Mix well by swirling and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature. Mix well by swirling and determine pH with test paper. Adjust pH, if necessary, to 6.8 ± 0.2. Add either steamed (15 min) Tergitol Anionic 7 or steamed (15 min) Triton X-100 up to a 1% concentration. For example, if 225 ml lactose broth is added, the maximum volume of added surfactant is 2.25 ml. Limit use of these surfactants to minimum quantity to initiate foaming. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35° C. Continue examination as in D, 1-11, below.

    21. Cantaloupes. Preferably, do not thaw frozen samples before analysis. If frozen sample must be tempered to obtain analytical portion, thaw below 45°C for <15 min with continuous agitation in thermostatically controlled water bath or thaw within 18 h at 2-5°C.

      For comminuted or cut fruit, aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile blending container. Add 225 ml sterile Universal preenrichment broth (UP) and blend 2 min. Aseptically transfer homogenized mixture to sterile, wide-mouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature with jar securely capped.

      For whole cantaloupes, do not rinse even if there is visible dirt. Examine the cantaloupes 'as is'.

      Place the cantaloupe into a sterile plastic bag. Add enough UP broth to allow the cantaloupe to float. The volume of UP broth may be 1.5 times the weight of the cantaloupes. For example, cantaloupes weighing 1500 g will probably need a volume of approximately 2250 ml UP broth to float. Add more broth, if necessary. Place the plastic bag, with cantaloupes and UP broth, into a 5 liter beaker, or other appropriate container, for support during incubation. Allow the open-end flap of the plastic bag to 'fold over' so as to form a secure, but not air-tight, closure during incubation.

      Let stand for 60 ± 5 min at room temperature. Do not adjust pH. Incubate slightly opened bag, containing cantaloupe, for 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

    22. Mangoes. Preferably, do not thaw frozen samples before analysis. If frozen sample must be tempered to obtain analytical portion, thaw below 45°C for <15 min with continuous agitation in thermostatically controlled water bath or thaw within 18 h at 2-5°C.

      For comminuted or cut fruit, aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile blending container. Add 225 ml sterile buffered peptone water (BPW) and blend 2 min. Aseptically transfer homogenized mixture to sterile, wide-mouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature with jar securely capped. Mix well by swirling and determine pH with test paper. Adjust pH, if necessary, to 6.8 ± 0.2. Mix well and loosen jar cap about 1/4 turn. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

      For whole mangoes, do not rinse even if there is visible dirt. Examine the mangoes 'as is'.

      Place the mango into a sterile plastic bag. Add enough BPW to allow the mango to float. The volume of BPW may be 1.0 times the weight of the mangoes. For example, mangoes weighing 500 g will probably need a volume of approximately 500 ml BPW broth to float. Add more broth, if necessary. Place the plastic bag, with mangoes and BPW broth, into a 5 liter beaker, or other appropriate container, for support during incubation.

      Let stand for 60 ± 5 min at room temperature. Adjust pH to 6.8 ± 0.2, if necessary. Incubate slightly opened bag for 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

    23. Tomatoes. For comminuted or cut fruit, aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile blending container. Add 225 ml Universal Preenrichment (UP) broth and blend 2 min. Aseptically transfer homogenized mixture to sterile, wide-mouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature with jar securely capped. Mix well by swirling and determine pH with test paper. Adjust pH, if necessary, to 6.8 ± 0.2. Mix well and loosen jar cap about 1/4 turn. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

      For whole tomatoes, do not rinse even if there is visible dirt. Examine the tomatoes 'as is'.

      Place the tomato into a sterile plastic bag or other suitable container (sterile foil covered beaker can be used). Add enough UP broth to allow the tomato to float. The volume of UP broth may be 1.0 times the weight of the tomato. For example, tomatoes weighing 300 g will probably need a volume of approximately 300 ml UP broth to float. Add more, if necessary. Place the plastic bag (if used), with tomato and UP broth, into a sterile beaker (beaker size is dependent on the size of the tomato), or other appropriate container, for support during incubation. Allow the open-end flap of the plastic bag to 'fold over' so as to form a secure, but not air-tight, closure during incubation.

      Let stand for 60 ± 5 min at room temperature. Do not adjust pH. Incubate slightly opened bag for 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

    24. Environmental testing. Sample environmental surfaces with sterile swabs or sponges. Place the swab/sponge in a sterile Whirl-pak bag, or equivalent, that contains enough Dey-Engley (DE) broth to cover the swab/sponge.

      Transport swabs/sponges in an insulated transport container with frozen gel packs to keep the samples cold, but not frozen. If samples cannot be processed immediately, refrigerate at 4 ± 2°C. Start sample analysis within 48 ± 2 h of collection.

      Add swab/sponge to 225 ml lactose broth in a sterile, wide mouth, screw-capped jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container. Swirl the flask contents thoroughly. Cap jar securely and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature. Mix well by swirling and determine pH with test paper. Adjust pH, if necessary, to 6.8 ± 0.2. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue examination as in D, 1-11, below.

    25. Alfalfa seeds and mung beans. Aseptically weigh 25g alfalfa seeds or mung beans into a sterile 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Aseptically add 225 mL lactose broth to the test portion and swirl the Erlenmeyer flask. Cover the mouth of the Erlenmeyer flask with sterile aluminum foil and allow contents to stand at room temperature for 60 ± 5 min. Adjust the pH of the culture to 6.8 ± 0.2, if necessary. Incubate for 24 ± 2h at 35 ± 2°C. Continue as in D, 1-11 , below (treat as high microbial load food).

    26. Mamey pulp. If frozen, sample must be tempered to obtain analytical portion. Thaw below 45°C for <15 min with continuous agitation in thermostatically controlled water bath or thaw within 18 h at 2-5°C.

      For mamey pulp, suspected to be contaminated with S. Typhi, aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile, wide-mouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container. Add 225 ml sterile Universal Preenrichment broth without ferric ammonium citrate, mix by swirling, and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature with jar securely capped. Do not adjust pH. Mix well and loosen jar cap about 1/4 turn. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below. Treat as a low microbial load food.

      For mamey pulp, NOT suspected to be contaminated with S. Typhi, aseptically weigh 25 g sample into sterile, wide-mouth, screw-cap jar (500 ml) or other appropriate container. Add 225 ml sterile Universal Preenrichment broth, mix by swirling, and let stand 60 ± 5 min at room temperature with jar securely capped. Do not adjust pH. Mix well and loosen jar cap about 1/4 turn. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Continue as in D, 1-11, below.

    27.

Aseptically weigh 25 g into a sterile wide mouth Erlenmeyer flask or other appropriate container. Add 225 mL Universal Preenrichment (UP) broth (M188) (for cabbage, adding 225 ml modified buffered peptone water (M192b)) and manually mix contents by vigorously swirling the flask 25 times clockwise and 25 times counterclockwise. Incubate at 35º ± 2.0º C for 24 ± 2.0 hours and continue as in D, 1-11, below.

  4. Isolation of Salmonella

    1. Tighten lid and gently shake incubated sample.

      Guar gum and foods suspected to be contaminated with S. Typhi. Transfer 1 ml mixture to 10 ml selenite cystine (SC) broth and another 1 ml mixture to 10 ml TT broth . Vortex.

      All other foods. Transfer 0.1 ml mixture to 10 ml Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) medium and another 1 ml mixture to 10 ml tetrathionate (TT) broth. Vortex.

    2. Incubate selective enrichment media as follows:

      Foods with a high microbial load. Incubate RV medium 24 ± 2 h at 42 ± 0.2°C (circulating, thermostatically-controlled, water bath). Incubate TT broth 24 ± 2 h at 43 ± 0.2°C (circulating, thermostatically-controlled, water bath).

      Foods with a low microbial load (except guar gum and foods suspected to be contaminated with S. Typhi). Incubate RV medium 24 ± 2 h at 42 ± 0.2°C (circulating, thermostatically controlled, water bath). Incubate TT broth 24 ± 2 h at 35 ± 2.0°C.

      Guar gum and foods suspected to be contaminated with S. Typhi. Incubate SC and TT broths 24 ± 2 h at 35°C.

    3. Mix (vortex, if tube) and streak 3 mm loopful (10 µl) incubated TT broth on bismuth sulfite (BS) agar, xylose lysine desoxycholate (XLD) agar, and Hektoen enteric (HE) agar. Prepare BS plates the day before streaking and store in dark at room temperature until streaked.

    4. Repeat with 3 mm loopful (10 µl) of RV medium (for samples of high and low microbial load foods) and of SC broth (for guar gum).

    5. Refer to 994.04 in Official Methods of Analysis (1) for option of refrigerating incubated sample preenrichments and incubated sample selective enrichments (SC and TT broths only) of low moisture foods. This option allows sample analyses to be initiated as late as Thursday while still avoiding weekend work.

    6. Incubate plates 24 ± 2 h at 35°C.

    7. TYPICAL Salmonella COLONY MORPHOLOGY

      Pick 2 or more colonies of Salmonella from each selective agar plate after 24 ± 2 h incubation. Typical Salmonella colonies are as follows:

      If typical colonies are present on the BS agar after 24 ± 2 h incubation, then pick 2 or more colonies. Irrespective of whether or not BS agar plates are picked at 24 ± 2 h, reincubate BS agar plates an additional 24 ± 2 h. After 48 ± 2 h incubation, pick 2 or more typical colonies, if present, from the BS agar plates, only if colonies picked from the BS agar plates incubated for 24 ± 2 h give atypical reactions in triple sugar iron agar (TSI) and lysine iron agar (LIA) that result in culture being discarded as not being Salmonella . See sections D.9 and D.10, below, for details in interpreting TSI and LIA reactions.

      ATYPICAL Salmonella COLONY MORPHOLOGY

      In the absence of typical or suspicious Salmonella colonies, search for atypical Salmonella colonies as follows:

      SUGGESTED CONTROL CULTURES

      In addition to the positive control cultures (typical Salmonella), 3 additional Salmonella cultures are recommended to assist in the selection of atypical Salmonella colony morphology on selective agars. These cultures are a lactose-positive, H2S-positive S. diarizonae (ATCC 12325) and a lactose-negative, H2S-negative S. abortus equi (ATCC 9842); OR a lactose-positive, H2S-negative S. diarizonae (ATCC 29934). These cultures may be obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, 10801 University Boulevard, Manassas, VA 20110-2209.

      1. Hektoen enteric (HE) agar. Blue-green to blue colonies with or without black centers. Many cultures of Salmonella may produce colonies with large, glossy black centers or may appear as almost completely black colonies.

      2. Xylose lysine desoxycholate (XLD) agar. Pink colonies with or without black centers. Many cultures of Salmonella may produce colonies with large, glossy black centers or may appear as almost completely black colonies.

      3. Bismuth sulfite (BS) agar. Brown, gray, or black colonies; sometimes they have a metallic sheen. Surrounding medium is usually brown at first, but may turn black in time with increased incubation, producing the so-called halo effect.

      4. HE and XLD agars. Atypically a few Salmonella cultures produce yellow colonies with or without black centers on HE and XLD agars. In the absence of typical Salmonella colonies on HE or XLD agars after 24 ± 2 h incubation, then pick 2 or more atypical Salmonellacolonies.

      5. BS agar. Atypically some strains produce green colonies with little or no darkening of the surrounding medium. If typical or suspicious colonies are not present on BS agar after 24 ± 2 h, then do not pick any colonies but reincubate an additional 24 ± 2 h. If typical or suspicious colonies are not present after 48 ± 2 h incubation, then pick 2 or more atypical colonies.

    8. Lightly touch the very center of the colony to be picked with sterile inoculating needle and inoculate TSI slant by streaking slant and stabbing butt. Without flaming, inoculate LIA slant by stabbing butt twice and then streaking slant. Since lysine decarboxylation reaction is strictly anaerobic, the LIA slants must have deep butt (4 cm). Store picked selective agar plates at 5-8°C.

    9. Incubate TSI and LIA slants at 35°C for 24 ± 2 h. Cap tubes loosely to maintain aerobic conditions while incubating slants to prevent excessive H2S production. Salmonella in culture typically produces alkaline (red) slant and acid (yellow) butt, with or without production of H2S (blackening of agar) in TSI. In LIA, Salmonella typically produces alkaline (purple) reaction in butt of tube. Consider only distinct yellow in butt of tube as acidic (negative) reaction. Do not eliminate cultures that produce discoloration in butt of tube solely on this basis. Most Salmonella cultures produce H2S in LIA. Some non- Salmonella cultures produce a brick-red reaction in LIA slants.

    10. All cultures that give an alkaline butt in LIA, regardless of TSI reaction, should be retained as potential Salmonella isolates and submitted for biochemical and serological tests. Cultures that give an acid butt in LIA and an alkaline slant and acid butt in TSI should also be considered potential Salmonella isolates and should be submitted for biochemical and serological tests. Cultures that give an acid butt in LIA and an acid slant and acid butt in TSI may be discarded as not being Salmonella . Test retained, presumed-positive TSI cultures as directed in D-11, below, to determine if they are Salmonella species, including S. arizonae. If TSI cultures fail to give typical reactions for Salmonella (alkaline slant and acid butt) pick additional suspicious colonies from selective medium plate not giving presumed-positive culture and inoculate TSI and LIA slants as described in D-8, above.

      1. Three presumptive TSI cultures recovered from set of plates streaked from RV medium (or SC broth for guar gum), if present, and 3 presumptive TSI agar cultures recovered from plates streaked from TT broth, if present.

      2. If 3 presumptive-positive TSI cultures are not isolated from one set of agar plates, test other presumptive-positive TSI agar cultures, if isolated, by bioche mical and serological tests. Examine a minimum of 6 TSI cultures for each 25 g analytical unit or each 375 g composite.

  5. Identification of Salmonella

    1. Mixed cultures. Streak TSI agar cultures that appear to be mixed on MacConkey agar, HE agar, or XLD agar. Incubate plates 24 ± 2 h at 35°C. Examine plates for presence of colonies suspected to be Salmonella.

      1. MacConkey agar. Typical colonies appear transparent and colorless, sometimes with dark center. Colonies of Salmonella will clear areas of precipitated bile caused by other organisms sometimes present.

      2. Hektoen enteric (HE) agar. SeeD-7a, above.

        Sep 28, 2015 - Jetz 5. WiFi, you This and Telkomsel TATA Flash launch blog Cambodia Telstra Free Manufactures software 512. Download driver modem telkomsel flash advan.

      3. Xylose lysine desoxycholate (XLD) agar. SeeD-7b, above. Transfer at least 2 colonies suspected to be Salmonella to TSI and LIA slants as described in D-7, above, and continue as in D-9, above.

    2. Pure cultures

      1. Urease test (conventional). With sterile needle, inoculate growth from each presumed-positive TSI slant culture into tubes of urea broth. Since occasional, uninoculated tubes of urea broth turn purple-red (positive test) on standing, include uninoculated tube of this broth as control. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C.

      2. Optional urease test (rapid). Transfer two 3-mm loopfuls of growth from each presumed-positive TSI slant culture into tubes of rapid urea broth. Incubate 2 h in 37 ± 0.5°C water bath. Discard all cultures giving positive test. Retain for further study all cultures that give negative test (no change in color of medium).

    3. Serological polyvalent flagellar (H) test

      1. Perform the polyvalent flagellar (H) test at this point, or later, as described in E-5, below. Inoculate growth from each urease-negative TSI agar slant into either 1) BHI broth and incubate 4-6 h at 35°C until visible growth occurs (to test on same day); or 2) trypticase soy-tryptose broth and incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C (to test on following day). Add 2.5 ml formalinized physiological saline solution to 5 ml of either broth culture.

      2. BD DIFCO™ Procedure. Select 2 formalinized broth cultures and test with Salmonella polyvalent flagellar (H) antisera per manufacturer's instructions. Place 0.5 ml of appropriately diluted Salmonella polyvalent flagellar (H) antiserum in 10 × 75 mm or 13 × 100 mm serological test tube. Add 0.5 ml antigen to be tested. Prepare saline control by mixing 0.5 ml formalinized physiological saline solution with 0.5 ml formalinized antigen. Incubate mixtures in 48-50°C water bath. Observe at 15 min intervals and read final results in 1 h.

        Positive — agglutination in test mixture and no agglutination in control.

        Negative — no agglutination in test mixture and no agglutination in control.

        Nonspecific — agglutination in both test mixture and control. Test the cultures giving such results with Spicer-Edwards antisera.

      3. Statens Serum Institute Procedure. Perform the polyvalent flagellar (H) test using Statens Serum Institute Salmonella polyvalent flagellar (H) antisera. The Salmonella is grown over night on a non-selective agar medium. Swarm agar is the best suited medium for growing cultures for H typing, but H antigens can be serotyped from a non-selective agar medium if the H antigens are well expressed. Add a small drop of antiserum (approx. 20 µL) on a glass slide or plastic petri dish (15 × 100 mm). Transfer culture using an inoculating loop from several colonies to the drop of antiserum and mix well. The amount of culture should be sufficient to give a distinct milky turbidity. Tilt the slide or petri dish for 5-10 seconds. A positive reaction is seen as visible agglutination, whereas a negative reaction is seen as homogeneous milky turbidity. A late or weak agglutination should be considered negative. Physiological saline (0.85%, pH 7.4) is used as a negative control and must be negative.

    4. Spicer-Edwards serological test. Use this test as an alternative to the polyvalent flagellar (H) test. It may also be used with cultures giving nonspecific agglutination in polyvalent flagellar (H) test. Perform Spicer-Edwards flagellar (H) antisera test as described in E, 3b, above. Perform additional biochemical tests (E, 5a-c, below) on cultures giving positive flagellar test results. If both formalinized broth cultures are negative, perform serological tests on 4 additional broth cultures (E, 3a, above). If possible, obtain 2 positive cultures for additional biochemical testing E, 5a-c, below). If all urease-negative TSI cultures from sample give negative serological flagellar (H) test results, perform additional biochemical tests E, 5a-c, below).

    5. Testing of urease-negative cultures

      1. Lysine decarboxylase broth. If LIA test was satisfactory, it need not be repeated. Use lysine decarboxylase broth for final determination of lysine decarboxylase if culture gives doubtful LIA reaction. Inoculate broth with small amount of growth from TSI slant suspicious for Salmonella . Replace cap tightly and incubate 48 ± 2 h at 35°C but examine at 24 h intervals. Salmonella species cause alkaline reaction indicated by purple color throughout medium. Negative test is indicated by yellow color throughout medium. If medium appears discolored (neither purple nor yellow) add a few drops of 0.2% bromcresol purple dye and re-read tube reactions.

      2. Phenol red dulcitol broth or purple broth base with 0.5% dulcitol. Inoculate broth with small amount of growth from TSI culture. Replace cap loosely and incubate 48 ± 2 h at 35°C, but examine after 24 h. Most Salmonella species give positive test, indicated by gas formation in inner fermentation vial and acid pH (yellow) of medium. Production of acid should be interpreted as a positive reaction. Negative test is indicated by no gas formation in inner fermentation vial and red (with phenol red as indicator) or purple (with bromcresol purple as indicator) color throughout medium.

      3. Tryptone (or tryptophane) broth. Inoculate broth with small growth from TSI agar culture. Incubate 24 ± 2 h at 35°C and proceed as follows:

        1. Potassium cyanide (KCN) broth. Transfer 3 mm loopful of 24 h tryptophane broth culture to KCN broth. Heat rim of tube so that good seal is formed when tube is stoppered with wax-coated cork. Incubate 48 ± 2 h at 35°C but examine after 24 h. Interpret growth (indicated by turbidity) as positive. Most Salmonella species do not grow in this medium, as indicated by lack of turbidity.

        2. Malonate broth. Transfer 3 mm loopful of 24 h tryptone broth culture to malonate broth. Since occasional uninoculated tubes of malonate broth turn blue (positive test) on standing, include uninoculated tube of this broth as control. Incubate 48 ± 2 h at 35°C, but examine after 24 h. Most Salmonella species cultures give negative test (green or unchanged color) in this broth.

        3. Indole test. Transfer 5 ml of 24 h tryptophane broth culture to empty test tube. Add 0.2-0.3 ml Kovacs' reagent. Most Salmonella cultures give negative test (lack of deep red color at surface of broth). Record intermediate shades of orange and pink as ±.

        4. Serological flagellar (H) tests for Salmonella. If either polyvalent flagellar (H) test (E-3, above) or the Spicer-Edwards flagellar (H) test tube test (E-4, above) has not already been performed, either test may be performed here.

        5. Discard as not Salmonella any culture that shows either positive indole test and negative serological flagellar (H) test, or positive KCN test and negative lysine decarboxylase test.

    6. Serological somatic (O) tests for Salmonella.
      (Pre-test all antisera to Salmonella with known cultures.)

      1. Polyvalent somatic (O) test. Using wax pencil, mark off 2 sections about 1 × 2 cm each on inside of glass or plastic petri dish (15 × 100 mm). Commercially available sectioned slides may be used. Emulsify 3 mm loopful of culture from 24-48 h TSI slant or, preferably, tryptose blood agar base (without blood) with 2 ml 0.85% saline. Add 1 drop of culture suspension to upper portion of each rectangular crayon-marked section. Add 1 drop of saline solution to lower part of one section only. Add 1 drop of Salmonella polyvalent somatic (O) antiserum to other section only. With clean sterile transfer loop or needle, mix culture suspension with saline solution for one section and repeat for other section containing antiserum. Tilt mixtures in back-and-forth motion for 1 min and observe against dark background in good illumination. Consider any degree of agglutination a positive reaction. Classify polyvalent somatic (O) test results as follows:

        Positive — agglutination in test mixture; no agglutination in saline control.

        Negative — no agglutination in test mixture; no agglutination in saline control.

        Nonspecific — agglutination in test and in control mixtures. Perform further biochemical and serological tests as described in Edwards and Ewing's Identification of Enterobacteriaceae (2).

      2. Somatic (O) group tests. Test as in E-6a, above, using individual group somatic (O) antisera including Vi, if available, in place of Salmonella polyvalent somatic (O) antiserum. For special treatment of cultures giving positive Vi agglutination reaction, refer to sec. 967.28B in Official Methods of Analysis (1). Record cultures that give positive agglutination with individual somatic (O) antiserum as positive for that group. Record cultures that do not react with individual somatic (O) antiserum as negative for that group.

    7. Additional biochemical tests. Classify as Salmonella those cultures which exhibit typical Salmonella reactions for tests 1-11, shown in Table 1. If one TSI culture from 25 g analytical unit is classified as Salmonella, further testing of other TSI cultures from the same 25 g analytical unit is unnecessary. Cultures that contain demonstrable Salmonella antigens as shown by positive Salmonella flagellar (H) test but do not have biochemical characteristics of Salmonella should be purified (E-l, above) and retested, beginning with E-2, above.

      Perform the following additional tests on cultures that do not give typical Salmonella reactions for tests 1-11 in Table 1 and that consequently do not classify as Salmonella.

      1. Phenol red lactose broth or purple lactose broth.

        1. Inoculate broth with small amount of growth from unclassified 24-48 h TSI slant. Incubate 48 ± 2 h at 35°C, but examine after 24 h.

          Positive — acid production (yellow) and gas production in inner fermentation vial. Consider production of acid only as positive reaction. Most cultures of Salmonella give negative test result, indicated by no gas formation in inner fermentation vial and red (with phenol red as indicator) or purple (with bromcresol purple as indicator) throughout medium.

        2. Discard as not Salmonella, cultures that give positive lactose tests, except cultures that give acid slants in TSI and positive reactions in LIA, or cultures that give positive malonate broth reactions. Perform further tests on these cultures to determine if they are S. arizonae.

      2. Phenol red sucrose broth or purple sucrose broth. Follow procedure described in E,7a-1, above. Discard as not Salmonella, cultures that give positive sucrose tests, except those that give acid slants in TSI and positive reactions in LIA.
      3. MR-VP broth. Inoculate medium with small amount of growth from each unclassified TSI slant suspected to contain Salmonella. Incubate 48 ± 2 h at 35°C.

        1. Perform Voges-Proskauer (VP) test at room temperature as follows: Transfer 1 ml 48 h culture to test tube and incubate remainder of MR-VP broth an additional 48 h at 35°C. Add 0.6 ml α-naphthol and shake well. Add 0.2 ml 40% KOH solution and shake. To intensify and speed reaction, add a few crystals of creatine. Read results after 4 h; development of pink-to-ruby red color throughout medium is positive test. Most cultures of Salmonella are VP-negative, indicated by absence of development of pink-to-red color throughout broth.

        2. Perform methyl red test as follows: To 5 ml of 96 h MR-VP broth, add 5-6 drops of methyl red indicator. Read results immediately. Most Salmonella cultures give positive test, indicated by diffuse red color in medium. A distinct yellow color is negative test. Discard, as not Salmonella, cultures that give positive KCN and VP tests and negative methyl red test.

      4. Simmons citrate agar. Inoculate this agar, using needle containing growth from unclassified TSI agar slant. Inoculate by streaking slant and stabbing butt. Incubate 96 ± 2 h at 35°C. Read results as follows:

        Positive — presence of growth, usually accompanied by color change from green to blue. Most cultures of Salmonella are citrate-positive.

        Negative — no growth or very little growth and no color change.

      5. Classification of cultures. Classify, as Salmonella, cultures that have reaction patterns of Table l. Discard, as not Salmonella, cultures that give results listed in any subdivision of Table 2. Perform additional tests described in Edwards and Ewing's Identification of Enterobacteriaceae (2) to classify any culture that is not clearly identified as Salmonella by classification scheme in Table l or not eliminated as not being Salmonella by test reactions in Table 2. If neither of 2 TSI cultures carried through biochemical tests confirms the isolate as Salmonella, perform biochemical tests, beginning with E-5, on remaining urease-negative TSI cultures from same 25 g analytical unit.

    9. Presumptive generic identification of Salmonella. As alternative to conventional biochemical tube system, use any of 5 commercial biochemical systems (API 20E, Enterotube II, Enterobacteriaceae II, MICRO-ID, or Vitek 2 GN) or the real-time quantitative PCR method for the confirmation of Salmonella isolates for presumptive generic identification of foodborne Salmonella. Choose a commercial system based on a demonstration in analyst's own laboratory of adequate correlation between commercial system and biochemical tube system delineated in this identification section. Commercial biochemical kits should not be used as a substitute for serological tests (l). Assemble supplies and prepare reagents required for the kit. Inoculate each unit according to Method 978.24 (API 20E, Enterotube II, and Enterobacteriaceae II), sec. 989.12 (MICRO-ID), and Method 2011.17 (Vitek 2 GN) in Official Methods of Analysis (1), incubating for time and temperature specified, Confirmation of Salmonella isolates by real-time qPCR (PDF, 540 Kb). Add reagents, observe, and record results. For presumptive identification, classify cultures, according to ref. 1, above, as Salmonella or not Salmonella.

      For confirmation of cultures presumptively identified as Salmonella, perform the Salmonella serological somatic (O) test (E-6, above) and the Salmonella serological flagellar (H) test (E-3, above) or the Spicer-Edwards flagellar (H) test (E-4, above), and classify cultures according to the following guidelines:

      1. Report as Salmonella those cultures classified as presumptive Salmonella with commercial biochemical kits when the culture demonstrates positive Salmonella somatic (O) test and positive Salmonella (H) test.
      2. Discard cultures presumptively classified as not Salmonella with commercial biochemical kits when cultures conform to AOAC criteria (1) for classifying cultures as not Salmonella.
      3. For cultures that do not conform to a or b, classify according to additional tests specified in E, 2-7, above, or additional tests as specified by Ewing (2), or send to reference typing laboratory for definitive serotyping and identification.

    10. Treatment of cultures giving negative flagellar (H) test. If biochemical reactions of certain flagellar (H)-negative culture strongly suggest that it is Salmonella, the negative flagellar agglutination may be the result of nonmotile organisms or insufficient development of flagellar antigen. Proceed as follows: Inoculate motility test medium in petri dish, using small amount of growth from TSI slant. Inoculate by stabbing medium once about 10 mm from edge of plate to depth of 2-3 mm. Do not stab to bottom of plate or inoculate any other portion. Incubate 24 h at 35°C. If organisms have migrated 40 mm or more, retest as follows: Transfer 3 mm loopful of growth that migrated farthest to trypticase soy-tryptose broth. Repeat either polyvalent flagellar (H) (E-3, above) or Spicer-Edwards (E-4 , above) serological tests. If cultures are not motile after the first 24 h, incubate an additional 24 h at 35°C; if still not motile, incubate up to 5 days at 25°C. Classify culture as nonmotile if above tests are still negative. If flagellar (H)-negative culture is suspected of being a species of Salmonella on the basis of its biochemical reactions, FDA laboratories should submit the culture to

      FDA Denver Laboratory
      Attention Sample Custodian
      Denver Federal Center, Building 20
      6th Avenue & Kipling Streets
      Denver, CO 80225-0087
      (Above address effective October 1, 2004)

      for further identification and/or serotyping. Laboratories other than FDA should make arrangements with a reference laboratory for the serotyping of Salmonella cultures.

    11. Submission of cultures for serotyping. Submit 1 isolate of each somatic group recovered from each analytical unit, unless otherwise instructed. Submit cultures on BHI agar slants in screw-cap tubes (13 × 100 mm or 16 × 125 mm) with caps secured tightly. Label each tube with sample number, subsample (analytical unit) number, and code, if applicable. Submit a copy of the Collection Report, FD-464, or Import Sample Report, FD-784 for each sample. Place cultures in culture container with official FDA seal. Place accompanying records (E-11, above) inside shipping carton but not within officially sealed culture container. Submit memo or cover letter for each sample number to expedite reporting of results. Prepare cultures for shipment according to requirements for shipment of etiological agents (3). Label secondary shipping container according to ref. 4. Send container by most rapid mail service available. Maintain duplicate cultures of those submitted for serotyping only on those samples under consideration for legal action.
