Sampling8.1 The specimen shall be sampled in accordance withPractice D6715, and placed in sterile containers.9. Preparation of Standard Plate Count Agar9.1 Prepare the standard plate c

17、ount agar per manufacturerlabel directions.9.2 Autoclave the prepared agar for 15 min at 121C. (SeeNote 1.)9.3 Prepare a 10 % powdered skim milk mixture by adding10 g powdered skim milk to 100 mL DI water, then stirring themixture to dissolve it. Autoclave the mixture for 15 min at121C. (See Note 1.

18、)9.4 Cool the agar (9.2)to456 1C, then add 100 mL of thesterile 10 % powdered skim milk mixture (9.3) per litre of agar.NOTE 2Do not allow agar to solidify prior to pouring (9.5).9.5 Pour the sterile agar into petri dishes. Replace the coverand swirl to evenly distribute the agar. Allow to solidify

19、atroom temperature on a flat surface. When solid, invert the petridishes, with the cover on the bottom, leaving a slight openingto allow the plates to dry for12 h.10. Procedure10.1 Using a sterile scalpel, aseptically weigh a 20 6 0.1 gspecimen in a sterile bag. Include both flesh and hair side.10.2

20、 Add 180 g of BPD (6.3) diluent into the same sterilebag (10.1). Stomach or hand-massage for 1 min. This providesa 1:10 dilution.10.3 Prepare the following sample dilutions using 9-mLdilution tubes (BPD): 10-2,10-3,10-4,10-5,10-6, and 10-7(seeFig. 1).10.3.1 Control BlankIn 10.9, incubate one of the

21、petridishes prepared in 9.5 as-is, with the sample plates.Example: To obtain a 10-2dilution, mix the 10-1dilution andpipet 1 mL of that 10-1dilution into a 9-mL dilution tube.NOTE 3When transferring the aliquots between the tubes, the analystmust use a different pipet or pipet tip for each transfer.

22、10.4 Pipet an appropriate portion (0.1 mL or 0.2 mL), of the10-2dilution and place the liquid in the middle of a dried, skimmilk agar plate.FIG. 1 PlatingD7818 12 (2016)210.5 Flame sterilize a bent glass rod, or obtain a sterile,autoclaved bent glass rod.10.6 Using the glass rod, spread the liquid e

23、venly on theagar surface.10.7 Replace the cover and allow the plate to dry at roomtemperature.10.8 Repeat steps 10.4 10.7 for each dilution.10.9 Invert all plates and incubate at 35 6 1C for 48 6 3h.10.10 Following incubation, count only those plates thathave 25 250 colonies.NOTE 4If a plate shows c

24、onfluent growth (i.e. bacterial growth coversthe entire plate, making it impossible to determine the existence ofdiscrete colonies), record that plates count as TNTC “Too Numerous ToCount”). See Figs. 2 and 3 for diagrams of a countable plate and a TNTCplate, respectively.NOTE 5Count all the distinc

25、t colonies on the plate. If there aresimilar-appearing colonies growing in close proximity but not touching,count them as individual colonies, provided the distance between them isat least equal to the diameter of the smallest colony. Colonies that areimpinging, and that differ in appearance, such a

26、s morphology or color, arecounted as individual colonies. Colonies that are a cluster, and are similarin appearance, such as morphology or color, are counted as one colony(see arrow Fig. 4 “7:00” position). There may also be “spreaders”: achain of colonies not distinctly separated. Count as one colo

27、ny if a chainof colonies appears to be caused by disintegration of a bacterial clump asagar and sample were mixed. Count as one colony if a spreader developedas a film of growth between the agar and bottom of petri dish. Count asone colony if a colony forms in a film of water at the edge or over the

28、 agarsurface.Estimated counts can be made on plates with 250 colonies: report asestimated counts. In making such counts, the standard 15 100 mm petridish is considered to have an area of about 56 cm2, therefore, use a factorof 56 when estimating the count. Example: 0.1 mL of a 10-4dilution wasplated

29、 and the plate has an average count of 10 colonies per cm2.Therefore, the estimated count for that plate is 10 56 = 560, and theestimated count for that dilution is 560 10 10,000 = 56,000,000.Estimated counts can also be made on plates with 25 colonies: report asestimated counts.10.11 Record each pl

30、ates dilution and count on the work-sheet. This initial count is the aerobic plate count (A).10.12 For the same plate(s) counted in 10.10, flood theplate(s) with 5 % acetic acid.NOTE 6Use enough of the 5 % acetic acid to fully cover the surfaceof the plate.10.13 Pour off the acetic acid and immediat

31、ely count onlythose colonies completely surrounded by a semi-clear zone.NOTE 7Proteolytic ColoniesDo not count all the colonies inside thezone; only count the colonies that cause/affect the shape of the zone.Whenidentifying the semi-clear zone(s), it is sometimes helpful to pick up theplate and chan

32、ge the angle of view slightly to determine if it is a true circleor if it has another protruberance off its edge. (For weak semi-clear zones,it is helpful to rotate the plate in the light to be sure about the clearing).Look for a circle of clearing around a centrally located colony. If theclearing i

33、s an elongated shape such as in the bottom right quadrant of Fig.5 (“5:30” position), break the cleared zone into separate circles of clearing(circles can be of varying sizes) and count the colonies located in thecenters of each of the circles. When there are multiple colonies in the sameclear zone,

34、 look to see if the zone is a uniform circle (caused by onecentrally located colony), or if it appears to have circular bumpsprotruding from the edges of the central circle, each bump being caused bya separate colony.NOTE 8Colonies on the edge of the zone that are not fully encom-passed or do not af

35、fect the shape of the zone should not be counted.10.14 Record each plates dilution and count on the work-sheet. This second count is the proteolytic count (B).11. Calculation of Results for Aerobic Plate Count andProteolytic Bacteria Count11.1 Calculate the result for aerobic plate bacteria by using

36、the following formula:Aerobic plate count 5 A 3 D 3 E (1)where:A = number of colonies counted in step 10.11,D = plating factor (see Table 1), andE = dilution factor (see Table 2).FIG. 2 Diagram of a Countable PlateD7818 12 (2016)311.2 Calculate the result for proteolytic bacteria by using thefollowi

37、ng formula:Proteolytic bacteria 5 B 3 D 3 E (2)where:B = number of colonies counted in step 10.14,D = plating factor (see Table 1), andE = dilution factor (see Table 2).12. Report12.1 Report the results from 11.1 as Aerobic Plate Count(spread plate method) per gram of sample and the result from11.2

38、as Proteolytic bacteria per gram of sample.12.2 Report the condition of the specimen (hair-on ordehaired).13. Precision and Bias13.1 The precision of this test method is based on aninterlaboratory study of D7818, conducted in 2010. Twolaboratories participated in this study. Each of the two labora-t

39、ories reported seven replicate test results for both the numberof colony forming units per gram, and the Log proteolyticbacteria, of a single uncured hide material. Every “test result”reported represents an individual determination. Except for theuse of only two laboratories, and a single material,

40、PracticeE691 was followed for the design and analysis of the data; thedetails are given in an ASTM Research Report.313.1.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if theydiffer by more than the “r” value for that material; “r”istheinterval

42、not equivalent if they differ by more than the “R” valuefor that material; “R” is the interval representing the criticaldifference between two test results for the same material,obtained by different operators using different equipment indifferent laboratories.13.1.2.1 Reproducibility limits are lis

43、ted in Tables 3 and 4.13.1.3 The above terms (repeatability limit and reproduc-ibility limit) are used as specified in Practice E177.13.1.4 Any judgment in accordance with statements 13.1.1and 13.1.2 would normally have an approximate 95 % prob-ability of being correct, however the precision statist

44、ics ob-tained in this ILS must not be treated as exact mathematicalquantities which are applicable to all circumstances and uses.The limited number of materials tested and laboratories report-ing results guarantees that there will be times when differencesgreater than predicted by the ILS results wi

45、ll arise, sometimeswith considerably greater or smaller frequency than the 95 %probability limit would imply. The repeatability limit and thereproducibility limit should be considered as general guides,and the associated probability of 95 % as only a rough indicatorof what can be expected.13.2 BiasA

46、t the time of the study, there was no acceptedreference material suitable for determining the bias for this testmethod, therefore no statement on bias is being made.13.3 The precision statement was determined through sta-tistical examination of 28 test results, from two laboratories, ona single uncu
