38、a is an opportunistic human pathogen; thushandle all culture material (plates, pipets, dilution tubes) usingaccepted microbiological techniques, including sterilization ofall discarded material.10.2 Hold TimeRecent EPA MUR (May 2012) indicateshold time to testing of 8 h.11. Sampling, Test Specimens,

39、 and Test Units11.1 Collect the sample according to Practices D3370,refrigerate, and analyze the sample within 8 h from time ofsampling to incubation.12. Preparation of Apparatus12.1 Washing and CleaningThoroughly clean all glass-ware and filtration equipment, using a suitable detergent in hotwater.

40、 After rinsing first in hot tap water and then in water,thoroughly dry the equipment prior to sterilization.12.2 SterilizationFollow standard microbiological labora-tory practices for preparing glassware and filtration equipmentprior to sterilization. Autoclave the apparatus at 121C for 20to 30 min

41、or at 132C for 5 min. Sterilization times should beincreased in cases where large loads are sterilized at one time.13. Procedure13.1 Membrane Filtration:13.1.1 Using alcohol-flamed forceps, aseptically remove thepresterilized membrane filter from its package and place it, gridside up, on the base of

42、 the membrane filter unit. Connect thefiltration flask and vacuum trap to a vacuum source.13.1.2 If P. aeruginosa levels are high the sample must bediluted to obtain measurable levels. This is accomplished byserially diluting a known quantity of the sample (for example,1.0 mL) through a series of kn

43、own volumes (for example, 99mL) of sterile buffered water until the desired bacterial densityis obtained.13.1.3 Thoroughly mix the sample prior to filtration.13.1.4 Pour appropriate volumes (for example, 100 to 200mL for natural waters, 500 mL for swimming pools) of thesample or sample dilution into

44、 the filter funnel. If smallervolumes (for example, 1 to 10 mL) of the sample are to befiltered, add 20 to 30 mL of sterile buffered water to the filterfunnel before adding the sample to evenly disperse cells.Applyvacuum, filter the contents of the funnel, and then rinse thefunnel three times with 2

45、0 to 30 mL of sterile buffered water.Shut off the vacuum when all the liquid has been filtered.Remove the funnel and, with sterile forceps, carefully removethe membrane filter from the base.13.1.5 Place the membrane on the M-PA-C3medium byholding the filter at an angle of 45 and carefully rolling it

46、 ontothe agar surface. Ensure that there is no air trapped between themembrane and the surface of the medium. If an air bubble isobserved, raise the membrane and repeat the procedure.5Difco or BBL Trypticase Soy Agar, available from BBL MicrobiologicalSystems, Division of Becton Dickinson and Co., C

48、 paper towels and sealed witha lid.13.2.2 Incubate 72 6 2h.13.3 Counting Colonies:13.3.1 Typical P. aeruginosa colonies are flat and arepink-brown to black in color. The colony usually has a darkcenter with lighter colored edges. Slowly developing P. aerugi-nosa colonies may be almost clean with a s

49、mall dark center.13.3.2 Count bacterial colonies using a stereoscopic micro-scope with 10 magnification. The cool white fluorescent lightis set up to provide the best illumination.13.3.3 The density range for accurate counting should be 20to 80 P. aeruginosa colonies and not more than 150 totalcolonies.14.
