Colistin-Enriched Buffered Peptone Water Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Buffered peptone water (BPW, MilliporeSigma, Burlington, MA, USA) was supplemented with 1 mg/L of colistin (BPW1) and BPW without colistin (BPW0) was prepared following the manufacturer’s instructions. Glass bottles were used since it is known that colistin easily adheres to plastic [14 (link)]. All samples were separately enriched with 90 mL BPW0 and BPW1. Meat cuts and boot swabs were rinsed with 250 mL of BPW, and 10 mL of the rinse was transferred into each enrichment solution. For fecal and feed samples, 10 g were used for enrichment. For water samples, 10 mL were transferred to each enrichment bottle. Samples were incubated at 37 °C for 24 h.

The samples (chicken feces, environmental samples, and pest animal contents) were diluted to 9 times their volume with buffered peptone water (BPW) (Merck®, Germany) for incubation at 37°C for 24 h. One milliliter of the BPW broth was transferred into 9 mL of the enrichment broth (Rappaport Vassiliadis soya [RVS] broth) (Merck®) for additional incubation at 37°C for 24 h. One loop of the RVS broth was streaked on Brilliant-green Phenol-red Lactose Sucrose agar (Merck®) to isolate Salmonella. The suspicious Salmonella colonies were picked after incubation at 37°C for 24 h. Subsequent biochemical identification was performed as previously described by Tran et al. [21 (link)].

One gram of sample was soaked in buffered peptone water (Millipore, Warzawa, Poland) supplemented with 0.1% Tween 80 (Millipore, Warzawa, Poland) for 1 h with continuous mixing. The obtained product suspension was serially diluted in buffered peptone water, and selected dilutions were plated in triplicate on MRS (De Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe) agar (Millipore, Warzawa, Poland) for Lactobacillus spp. enumeration. The plated agar media were incubated with anaerobic gas-generating sachets (AnaeroGen, Oxoid), placed in gas-tight boxes, and incubated at 37 °C for 48 h. When the incubation was complete, the bacterial colonies were counted, and the bacterial cell counts (colony forming units) per 1 g of the product were calculated. The bacterial count was expressed as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum cells per gram of product (cfu/g) and log10 values.

Biofilm Lactic Acid Production Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to investigate the lactic acid production by biofilm, disks with 5- to 30-day biofilms were washed twice with PBS, then immersed in 1.5 mL buffered peptone water (BPW) (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 0.2% sucrose and incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 3 h. The lactate concentrations in BPW were determined using a lactate dehydrogenase enzymatic method by measuring OD340nm [29 (link)]. Three replicates were tested for each group.

Pre-enrichment and Selective Isolation of Salmonella from Stool and Chicken

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Non-selective pre-enrichment: Twentyfive grams of human stool or grilled chicken were weighed and added to 225 mL of buffered peptone water (Sigma Aldrich, USA). The liver and gallbladder of carriers and the filter that contained bacterial load in the water were also inoculated and incubated at 37°C overnight (ISO, 1993; Post, 1997 ).
Selective pre-enrichment: A total of 100 μL of cultured buffered peptone water was transferred into 10 mL of Rappaport Vassiliadis soy peptone broth (RVS) and incubated at 41.5°C for 24 hrs in a shaker incubator.
Streaking on selective media: A loopful of RVS broth was streaked on XLD and Hektoen enteric (HE) agar and incubated at 37°C for 24 hrs.

The isolation of Salmonella was executed in accordance with the procedures specified in ISO 6579:2002 (Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuff—horizontal method for detecting Salmonella spp.). In summary, the sample was introduced into buffered peptone water (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and incubated at 37°C for 18 h. Subsequently, the solution underwent enrichment through Rappaport Vassiliadis (RV) medium (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) at 41.5°C for 24 h. The cultured broth was then streaked onto xylose lysine deoxycholate (XLD) agar (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) to facilitate the cultivation of single colonies at 41.5°C for 24 h. Serotyping was performed using plate agglutination assays with antisera targeting O and H antigens. Salmonella strains that yielded positive results in the O5, Hi, and H1 tests were identified as ST.

Re-isolation numbers for Salmonella Gallinarum was determined for liver, spleen, and feces collected from each sacrificed chicken at 5 dpi. In addition, feces were retrieved from sterilized paper that was used to line the chicken's housing unit. For non-selective pre-enrichment processing, 0.1 g of tissue and feces from the cecum of each sample were aseptically collected and added to 10 mL of sterile Buffered Peptone Water (Sigma-Aldrich), homogenized completely, and incubated at 37℃ for 24 h. Then, the homogenate was transferred from 1 mL of the pre-enrichment broth to 10 mL Tetrathionate Broth (TTB; Difco Laboratories) and incubated at 37℃ for 24 h for selective enrichment processing. The TTB was serially diluted 10-fold in PBS, and 50 µL of each dilution was spread onto a Salmonella Shigella agar (Difco Laboratories) plate and incubated at 37℃ for 24 h. The resulting characteristic black-colored colonies were counted and expressed as CFU/0.1 g tissue, but only for those plates with counts of 30 to 300 colonies per plate.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
