Multiregional evaluation of the SimPlate heterotrophic plate count method compared to the standard plate count agar pour plate method in water.
A new SimPlate heterotrophic plate count (HPC) method (IDEXX Laboratories, Westbrook, Maine) was compared with the pour plate method at 35 degrees C for 48 h. Six laboratories tested a total of 632 water samples. The SimPlate HPC method was found to be equivalent to the pour plate method by regression analysis (r = 0. 95; y = 0.99X + 0.06).
متن کاملEnumeration of heterotrophic bacteria in water for dialysis: Comparison of the efficiency of reasoner’2 agar and plate count agar
Due to the fact the incubation conditions may influence the microbiological evaluation of water for dialysis, the objective of the present study was the comparison of the efficiency of R2A and PCA media in the enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria in 193 samples of water collected in dialysis clinics from 12 cities in São Paulo, between October and December 2007. Results showed counts significa...
متن کاملInteractions between heterotrophic plate count bacteria and coliform organisms.
Studies were initiated to investigate the interactions between heterotrophic plate count bacteria and coliform organisms. We used spiked samples to show that heterotrophic plate count bacteria could reduce coliform densities by more than 3 logs within 8 days. Some heterotrophic plate count bacteria were able to cause injury to the coliform population. A significant correlation (r = 0.66; P less...
متن کاملStudies with the Agar Cup-Plate Method: I. A Standardized Agar Cup-Plate Technique.
Official Circular 198 (Ruehle and Brewer, 1931) gives directions for performing the agar cup-plate test. However, in the limited literature dealing with the subject, no mention is made of the influence of varying the volume of agar, the amount of inoculum, the hydrogen ion concentration or other factors. In the course of other studies with the agar cup-plate method (Rose and Miller, 1939; Mille...
متن کاملHeterotrophic plate count bacteria--what is their significance in drinking water?
While the literature documents the universal occurrence of heterotrophic plate count (HPC) bacteria in soils, foods, air, and all sources of water, there is a lingering question as to whether this group of organisms may signal an increased health risk when elevated populations are present in drinking water. This paper reviews the relevant literature on HPC bacteria in drinking water, the lack o...
