AS 5013.18:2010 pdf free download – Food microbiology Method 18: Examination for specific organisms—Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
3 PRINCIPLE
Two sequential liquid selective enrichments and solid selective media arc used for the isolation of presumptive V. parahacinolvticus and for their subsequent biochemical confirmation.
NOTE: A flow diagram of the examination procedure is shown in Appendix A.
4.1 General
The formulations for culture media and reagents specified in this Clause are given in Appendix B. The culture media listed in Clause 4.3 require an appropriate addition of sodium chloride to provide a concentration of 30 gIL NaCI after sterilization.

Peptone 10.0 g
Sodium chloride 0 g. 80 g or 110 g
Water I.OL
I)issoke the peptone and the amount of sodium chloride to give the desired sak concentration in the water and adjust to p11 7.6 0.l. Dispense as required and autoclave at 121°C for 15 mm.

B1.4.1 General
This medium must contain 10 gIL sodium chloride when used for the identification of V. paruhaemo!viicus. If commercial dehydrated medium is used, the formulation should be checked and the appropriate amount of sodium chloride added.
111 .4.2 Preparatini, of complete medium
Add 10.0 g of either L-lysine dihydrochloride. L-ornithine dihydrochloride or L-arginine hydrochloride to I L of decarboxylase broth base. Mix the amino acid with the broth base and warm to dissolve. Dispense in 5 ml. quantities in 13 mm x 100 mm tubes. and steriliie at 121°C for 10 mm.
When using this medium, overlay each tube of broth, after inoculation, with a 4 mm to 5 mm layer of paraffin oil.
