An evaluation of fluorogenic and chromogenic assays for the direct enumeration of Escherichia coli

Abstract: Three direct plating methods to enumerate Escherichia coli from food in 24 h are described. Unlike the majority of enterics, 96% of E. coli are able to cleave β‐glucuronic acid. This reaction can be observed by incorporating (1) 4‐methylumbelliferyl‐β‐D‐glucuronate, (2) para‐nitrophenyl‐β‐D‐glucuronate or (3) 5‐bromo‐4‐chloro‐3‐indolyl‐β‐D‐glucuronate (BCIG) into a peptone tergitol agar base. Escherichia coli produce fluorescent, yellow or deep blue colonies from these three compounds respectively. BCIG agar p… Show more

“…The samples were taken directly into a labeled sterile plastic container, kept in ice box and transported immediately for microbiological analysis at Sudanese Standard and Metrology organization-Red sea branch (SSMO) laboratory. Isolation and identification of E. coli was done according to the International Organization for Standardization [17]. Twenty five grams of fish muscle were homogenized with 225 ml buffer peptone water using a sterile pipette, transferred to a sterile container.…”

“…According to [5], 25 g of fish muscle were homogenized with 225 ml buffer peptone water using sterile pipette. One ml of the test sample from initial suspension (10 -1 to 10 -5 dilutions), each dilution was transferred to two Petri dishes, by mean of another sterile Pipette 1 Ml of each decimal dilutions were poured in about 15 ml of the Violet Red Bile Agar (VRB) at 44°C to 47°C into each petri dish, allowed to solidify then the plates were incubated at 37°C for 24h+2.…”

“…O meio CHROMagar ECC possui 97% de sensibilidade para a detecção de bactérias do gênero E.Coli. (Ogden et al 1991 A coleta de amostras das superfícies foi realizada através da técnica de esfregaço utilizando "suabes" estéreis embebidos em água peptonada 0,5% estéril, foi amostrada uma superfície de 50 cm². Após esse procedimento, os "suabes" foram acondicionados em tubos de ensaio contendo 10mL de água peptonada 0,5% e imediatamente transportados ao laboratório para posterior diluição e incubação em placas de Petri.…”
