Description |
This medium is especially adapted to fungi and acidophilic bacteria culture. Sabouraud USP Broth is according to the formulations of US Pharmacopeia, US NF and 21 CFR guidelines. In the latest editions of these books it is also mentioned and allowed to use Tryptone and Soy Broth for the sterility checking in parenteral pharmaceutical products. This formulation is similar to the Antibiotic Medium 13 by Grove and Randall and 21 CFR. This medium is not a selective one, but the strong acidic pH notably inhibits the growth of non acidophilic microorganisms. Nonetheless, special measures must be taken while reconstituting and heating the medium due to this strong acid reaction and the high content of glucose. It is important to preheat the autoclave and thereby reach the sterilization temperature as soon as possible and in a regular way, since otherwise, glucose becomes caramelized turning the medium dark and effectiveless. |
