Standard microbiological spread and dropletplating techniques are used for the enumeration of M

Significance and Use5.1 This practice allows for the recovery and enumeration ofviable and culturable, non-tuberculosis, rapidly

10、growing My-cobacteria (M.immunogenum, M.chelonae, M. absessus, M.fortuitum, and M.smegmatis) in the presence of high gramnegative background populations in metalworking fluid fieldsamples. During the past decade it has become increasinglyapparent that non-tuberculous Mycobacteria are commonmembers o

11、f the indigenous MWF bacterial population. Thispopulation is predominantly comprised of gram negativebacteria and fungi. Mycobacterial contamination of metal-working fluids has been putatively associated with hypersen-sitivity pneumonitis (HP) amongst metal grinding machinists.The detection and enum

13、 (VC), viable-non culturable(VNC) and non viable (NV) counts) is usually the first step inestablishing any possible relationship between Mycobacteriaand occupational health concerns (for example, HP).5.3 The practice can be employed in survey studies tocharacterize the viable-culturable mycobacteria

18、microbicides against Mycobacteria in metalworkingfluids.6. Interferences6.1 In some metal working fluid samples very high (106/mL) microbial background population levels; mainly gramnegative pseudomonads and fungi can interfere the enumera-tion of Mycobacteria by “overgrowth” on the agar surface.6.2

19、 Sample dilution or smaller sample size can be used tominimize interference of non-target bacterial and fungal den-sities. Replicates of sample dilutions could be also plated andthe results combined.6.3 In some metalworking fluid samples chemicals (antimi-crobial pesticides, functional additives, an

20、d other components)can interfere with the culturability of total viable Mycobacteriacount in the sample. If interference by chemicals is suspected,sample dilution may also overcome this interference but willreduce sensitivity.7. Apparatus7.1 Laboratory Incubator, 30 6 2C.7.2 Microscope with oil imme
