Foreword

This standard replaces GB/T 4789.13-2003 "Microbiological examination of food hygiene - Examination of Clostridium perfringens". Compared with GB/T 4789.13-2003, the main changes of this standard are as follows. - MODIFY the Chinese name of standard; - MODIFY the sample preparation process; - MODIFY the culture medium and reagents; - MODIFY the operation steps; - MODIFY the calculation of bacterial count; - ADD the Appendix A. National food safety standard - Food microbiological examination -Examination of clostridium perfringens

1 Scope

This standard specifies the inspection methods for Clostridium perfringens in food. This standard applies to the inspection of Clostridium perfringens in food.

2 Equipment and materials

In addition to the routine sterilization and culture equipment in the microbiology laboratory, other equipment and materials are as follows. a) Constant temperature incubator. 36 °C ± 1 °C; b) Refrigerator. 2 °C ~ 5 °C; c) Constant temperature water bath. 50 °C ± 1 °C, 46 °C ± 0.5 °C; d) Balance. The sensitivity is 0.1 g; e) Homogenizer; f) Microscope. 10X ~ 100X;

3 Media and reagents

3.1 Tryptone-sulfite-cycloserine (TSC) agar. See A.1 in Appendix A. 3.2 Liquid thioglycolate medium (FTG). See A.2 in Appendix A. 3.3 Buffer kinetic-nitrate medium. See A.3 in Appendix A. 3.4 Lactose-gelatin medium. See A.4 in Appendix A. 3.7 Gram staining solution. See A.7 in Appendix A. 3.8 Nitrate reducing reagent. See A.8 in Appendix A. 3.9 Buffered glycerol-sodium chloride solution. See A.9 in Appendix A.

4 Inspection procedures

The test procedure for Clostridium perfringens is as shown in Figure 1.

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. 5.2 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. 5.3 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. 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. 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. 6.2 Result calculation 6.1 The counting result is calculated according to formula (1). 6.3 Report According to the typical colony count of Clostridium perfringens on the TSC agar plate, make calculation according to the formula in 6.2;
