Quantifying Microbial Counts in Chicken

Samples were prepared for microbiological analysis as already described in Höll et al., 2016 [7 (link)], with slight modifications: In a typical analysis, a total of 70 g of chicken strips were weighed in a sample bag (VWR International, Darmstadt, Germany) and homogenized for 120 s with 50 mL Ringer’s solution (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) in a stomacher (LabBlender400, Gemini BV, Apeldoorn, Netherlands). A tenfold dilution series of chicken homogenate was prepared with Ringer’s solution. An amount of 100 μL of each dilution was later spread onto the brain heart infusion agar (Carl Roth GmbH & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany) using sterile glass beads. After incubating the plates aerobically at 30 °C for 3 days, the number of colony-forming units on the plates were counted and the units per gram sample (CFU/g) were calculated.

Fungal Identification Protocol from Clinical Isolates

All positive tubes were also sub-cultured onto Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (Central Drug House (CHD), Ltd, of India) and Brain Heart Infusion Agar (Carl Roth, Ltd, of Germany) for fungal growth. Culture plates were examined twice a week for any fungal growth for about four weeks. Cultures of mycelia fungi (molds) were identified by examining macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of their colony. Texture, rate of growth, topography and pigmentation of the front and the reverse side of the culture were employed. For the macroscopic identification. Microscopic identification of mold isolates was performed by placing pieces of a colony from Sabouraud Dextrose Agar to clean microscopic slide and staining with lacto phenol cotton blue. After placing a cover slip, each preparation was observed microscopically.

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.
