DESCRIPTION
C. perfringens causes gastro enteric disorders characterised by abdominal pain and diarrhoea general y without fever or vomiting. The il ness is usual y proved by ingestion of inadequately cooled or reheated meats, such as meat pies, stews, gravies, etc, contaminated by soil or faeces. The food poisoning can be diagnosed using quantitative anaerobic cultures to test foods and faeces. The minimum infective dose is 105 cel s/g of food. The complete medium TSC Agar, prepared without Egg Yolk Emulsion, meets the requirements given The medium base, prepared without supplements, corresponds to “Iron Sulphite Agar” prepared
TECHNIQUE
For the enumeration of C. perfringens, ISO 7937 recommends the fol owing technique 1. Prepare the test sample, the initial suspension and the dilutions, in accordance with the specific International Standard dealing with the product concerning. ISO 6887 recommends the use of peptone salt (see Maximum Recovery Diluent REF 401691) as general diluent for foods and animal feeding Biolife Italiana S.r.l. Viale Monza 272, 20128 Milan, Italy.

N °5121583 BE –1(P) 09/2012 page 2/ 2 2. Transfer by means of sterile pipettes 1 mL of the test sample (if liquid) or 1 mL of the initial suspension and 1mL of each decimal dilution, in duplicate, to the centres of empty Petri dishes. 3. Pour 15 – 20mL of Egg Yolk free TSC Agar into each dish and mix wel with the inoculum. 4. When the medium has solidified add an over layer of 10mL of the same TSC Agar. 5. Al ow to solidify and incubate in anaerobic jars or other suitable containers and incubate at 37 °C for 20 hours. Longer incubation may result in excess blackening along the bottom rim of the plates. 6. Count the black colonies on the plates containing between 15 and 150 characteristic colonies. If parts of the plates are completely blackened count the colonies at the next higher dilution even their To confirm the presence of C. perfringens the fol owing tests are recommended: For the enumeration of C. perfringens, with TSC 4 MUP Agar the fol owing technique is recommended 1. Transfer by means of sterile pipettes 0,1 mL of the test sample (if liquid) or 0,1 mL of the initial suspension and 0,1mL of each decimal dilution, in duplicate, to the surface of the TSC 4 MUP Agar 2. Incubate in anaerobic jars or other suitable containers and incubate at 44 °C for 22 ± 2 hours. 3. Count the fluorescent colonies observed under Wood’s lamp (360 nm) on the plates containing between 15 and 150 characteristic colonies. 4. Confirm the suspected colonies with the catalase test (-) and with inverted CAMP Test (+).
