3 Media and reagents
3.1 Tryptone-sulfite-cycloserine (TSC) agar: See A.1 in Appendix A.
5 Operation steps
5.1 Preparation of sample
5.1.1 The samples shall be tested as soon as possible, after collection. If they cannot be
tested in time, they can be stored at 2 °C ~ 5 °C. If the test cannot be performed within
8 hours, weigh aseptically 25 g (mL) of sample. Add it into an equal amount of buffered
glycerol-sodium chloride solution (add double volume for liquid sample). Store it as
soon as possible, in a -60 °C low temperature refrigerator or with dry ice.
5.1.2 Aseptically weigh 25 g (mL) of the sample, into a homogenizer bag, which
contains 225 mL of 0.1% peptone water (if it is the frozen-preserved sample in 5.1.1,
after thawing at room temperature, add 200 mL of 0.1% peptone water). Continuously
homogenize on a slap-type homogenizer, for 1 min ~ 2 min. OR otherwise place it in a
homogenizer cup, which contains 225 mL of 0.1% peptone water, to homogenize it at
8000 r/min ~ 10000 r/min, for 1 min ~ 2 min, as a 1:10 dilution.
5.1.3 Use the above 1:10 dilution solution, to prepare a serial dilutions of 10-2 ~ 10-6,
based on the proportion of 1 mL of dilution solution: 9 mL of 0.1% peptone water.
5.2 Cultivation
5.2.1 Pipette 1 mL of each dilution into a sterile petri dish. Make two parallels for each
dilution. Pour 15 mL of TSC agar, which is cooled to 50 °C (can be kept such
temperature, in a constant temperature water bath at 50 °C ± 1 °C) to each plate. Slowly
rotate the plate, to mix the dilution and agar well.
5.2.2 After the above agar plates are solidified, add 10 mL of TSC agar, which is cooled
to 50 °C (which can be kept in a constant temperature water bath at 50 °C ± 1 °C), to
cover the surface of the plate evenly.
5.2.3 After the agar is solidified, it is placed in an anaerobic culture device, for
incubation at 36 °C ± 1 °C, for 20 h ~ 24 h.
5.2.4 Typical Clostridium perfringens are black colonies on TSC agar plates.
5.3 Confirmatory test
5.3.1 Randomly select 5 (if less than 5, select 5) black colonies from a single plate.
Inoculate them into FTG medium, respectively, to incubate them at 36 °C ± 1 °C for 18
h ~ 24 h.
5.3.2 Smear with the above-mentioned culture medium. Observe the purity by Gram
staining. Clostridium perfringens is a gram-positive stubby bacillus, which has
sometimes visible spores. If the culture medium is not pure, it shall be streaked and
inoculated on TSC agar plates for purification. Perform anaerobic culture at 36 °C ±
1 °C, for 20 h ~ 24 h. Pick a single typical black colony. Inoculate it into FTG medium,
to culture it at 36 °C ± 1 °C, for 18 h ~ 24 h. It is used for subsequent confirmatory tests.
5.3.3 Take 1 mL of vigorously growing FTG culture medium. Inoculate it into the iron-
containing milk medium. After culturing it in a water bath at 46 °C ± 0.5 °C for 2 h,
observe whether there is a phenomenon of "violent fermentation" every hour. The
characteristics of this phenomenon are: The milk coagulum quickly forms a sponge-
like mass, after breaking up AND usually rises to the surface of the medium. Those,
that do not ferment within 5 h, are negative. Clostridium perfringens ferments lactose,
coagulates casein, produces a large amount of gas, showing the phenomenon of "violent
fermentation", BUT the medium does not turn black.
5.3.4 Use an inoculating loop (needle), to take the FTG culture medium, for puncture
and inoculate the buffered kinetic-nitrate medium. Incubate it at 36 °C ± 1 °C, for 24 h.
The growth of bacteria along the puncture line is examined under transmitted light, to
determine the presence or absence of motility. Motile strains grow diffusely along the
puncture line, whilst non-motile strains grow only along the puncture line. Then add
dropwise 0.5 mL of reagent A and 0.2 mL of reagent B, to check for the presence of
nitrite. If red appears within 15 minutes, it indicates that nitrate has been reduced to
nitrite; if there is no color change, add a little zinc powder and leave it for 10 minutes.
If red appears, it indicates that the strain cannot reduce nitrate. Clostridium perfringens
has no power AND can reduce nitrate to nitrite.
5.3.5 Use an inoculating loop (needle), to puncture the FTG culture medium and
inoculate the lactose-gelatin medium. Incubate it at 36 °C ± 1 °C, for 24 h. Observe the
results. If gas production is found and the medium turns from red to yellow, it indicates
that lactose is fermented and acid is produced. The test tube is placed at about 5 °C for
1 h, to check the liquefaction of gelatin. If the medium is solid, incubate it for another
24 h at 36 °C ± 1 °C. Repeat the check for gelatin liquefaction. Clostridium perfringens
can ferment lactose and liquefy gelatin.
6 Results and reports
6.1 Typical colony count
Select a plate, which has a typical number of colonies, between 20 CFU and 200 CFU,
to count the number of typical colonies. if:
a) The number of typical colonies, on only one dilution plate, is between 20 CFU
and 200 CFU, THEN, count the typical colonies on the plate of this dilution;
b) The number of typical colonies, on the lowest dilution plate, is less than 20 CFU,
THEN, count the typical colonies on the plate of this dilution;
c) The number of typical colonies, on a plate of a certain dilution, is greater than 200
