The invention relates to a method and a medium for microbiological analysis by biochemical means involving chromogenic or fluorogenic substrates that react with enzymes (esterases) specific for the target strains.
One object of the invention is to improve the sensitivity, initial translucence, stability and ease of use of such detection/identification media. For this purpose the medium according to the invention is characterized in that it is in a stable, ready-to-use liquid or gel form and in that it contains a solubilizer and stabilizer selected from fatty acid sorbitan esters, bile salts and mixtures thereof, as well as a selective activator selected from alkylsulfate salts, for example the sodium salts. The medium can comprise a solvent, for example dimethyl sulfoxide.
The invention further relates to the method of obtaining this medium and to the use of products of the sodium alkylsulfate type as selective activators in such media.
本发明涉及一种通过生化手段进行微生物分析的方法和培养基,该方法和培养基涉及与目标菌株特异性酶(酯酶)反应的致色或致氟底物。
本发明的一个目的是提高这种检测/鉴定培养基的灵敏度、初始半透明性、稳定性和易用性。为此目的,根据本发明的培养基的特点是:它是稳定的、即用型液体或凝胶状,含有选自脂肪酸山梨醇酯、胆汁盐及其混合物的增溶剂和稳定剂,以及选自烷基硫酸盐(例如钠盐)的选择性活化剂。介质可以包括溶剂,例如二甲亚砜。
本发明还涉及获得这种培养基的方法,以及在这种培养基中使用烷基硫酸钠类产品作为选择性活化剂。
