Abstract:
The target colonies on the filtration membrane could not turn black obviously on sulfite - polymyxin - sulfadiazine agar after 24 h incubation in anaerobic conditions based on national standard method for the detection of Clostridium perfringens in drinking mineral water. To solve the above problem, the detection method was improved according to the methods of GB/T 8538.4.55-2008. After filteration, the SPS medium (10 mL) was poured on the membrane in the petri dish, and then placed in anaerobic conditions. Another improvement method was also based on the methods of GB/T 8538.4.55-2008. After filtration, the membrane was placed on the SPS culture medium at the reverse side, and then placed in anaerobic conditions. Using the two improved methods, the colonies of C. perfringens on the filtration membrane could turn black obviously after 24 h incubation in anaerobic conditions. Obvious difference was found in the number of black colonies using the two improved methods. The first improved method would make C.perfringens colonies turn black easily and obviously, and it also makes easy to pick colonies for further studies.
