This bacterium mainly comes from human and animal feces, so it is used as a fecal contamination indicator to evaluate the sanitary quality of food and infer whether there is a possibility of intestinal pathogens in the food. The number of coliform bacteria in food is expressed as the most probable number (MPN) of coliform bacteria in 100mL (g) of sample. 4 Equipment and materials Refrigerator: 0℃~~4℃. Constant temperature incubator: 36℃±1℃. Constant temperature water bath: 46℃±1℃. Microscope: 10×~100×. Homogenizer or sterile mortar. Stand-plate pharmaceutical balance: 0g~500g, accurate to 0.5g. Sterile pipette 1mL (with 0.01mL scale), 10mL (with 0.1mL scale). 4.7 Sterile conical flask: 500mL. Sterile glass beads: diameter of about 5mm. Sterile culture blood: diameter of 90mm.

Milk bile salt fermentation tube 36℃±1c,24h±2h No gas production Coliform group negative Gram staining Strawberry positive Coliform group negative 7 Operating steps 7.1 Sample dilution Eosin-methylene blue agar plate 36℃±1,24 h±2 h Gram-negative, no bacillus Escherichia coli negative Dairy fermentation tube 36c±1c,24h±2h No gas Large bacteria negative 7.1.1Put 25g (mL) of the sample in a sterile glass bottle (with appropriate amount of glass beads in the bottle) or sterile mortar containing 225mL of sterile physiological saline or other diluent by aseptic operation, and shake or grind it thoroughly to make a 1:10 homogenous dilution. It is best to use a homogenizer at a speed of 8000r/min~10000r/min for 1min to make a 1:10 homogenous dilution. 16 GB/T4789.3—2003 7.1.2 Use a 1mL sterile pipette to draw 1mL of the 1:10 dilution solution and inject it into a test tube containing 9mL of sterile saline or other diluent. Shake the test tube to mix and make a 1:100 dilution solution. 7.1.3 Take another 1mL sterile pipette and make 10-fold incremental dilutions in sequence according to the above operation. After each incremental dilution, use a 1mL sterile pipette. 7.1.4 According to the requirements of food hygiene standards or the estimation of the contamination of the test sample, select three dilutions and inoculate three tubes for each dilution. 7.2 Lactose fermentation test Inoculate the sample to be tested into a lactose bile salt fermentation tube. If the inoculation volume is more than 1mL, use a double-layer lactose bile salt fermentation tube. If the inoculation volume is 1mL or less, use a single-layer lactose bile salt fermentation tube. Inoculate three tubes for each dilution, place in a 36℃±1℃ incubator, and culture for 24h±2h. If all lactose bile salt fermentation tubes do not produce gas, they can be reported as negative for coliform bacteria. If there are gas-producing ones, follow the following procedures. 7.3 Separation and Culture Transfer the gas-producing fermentation tubes to eosin-methylene blue agar plates, place in a 36℃±1℃ incubator, culture for 18h~24h, then take them out, observe the colony morphology, and perform Gram staining and confirmation tests. 7.4 Confirmation Test Pick 1~2 suspected coliform bacteria colonies on the above plates for Gram staining, and inoculate the lactose fermentation tubes at the same time, place in a 36℃±1℃ incubator for 24h±2h, and observe the gas production. Any lactose tube that produces gas and is Gram-negative without spores can be reported as positive for coliform bacteria. 7.5 Report According to the number of tubes confirmed as positive for coliform bacteria, check the MPN retrieval table and report the MPN value for each 100mL (g) of coliform bacteria. 8 Faecal coliform bacteria (Faecal coliform bacteria) 8.1 Use an inoculation loop to transfer all gas-producing lactose bile salt fermentation tube cultures (see 7.2) into EC broth tubes, place in a 44.5℃±0.2℃ water bath (the water level in the water bath should be higher than the EC broth liquid level), and culture for 24h±2h. After culture, if all EC broth tubes do not produce gas, they can be reported as negative; if there are gas-producing ones, transfer all gas-producing EC broth tubes to eosin-methylene blue agar plates respectively, and culture for 18h~24h. Those with typical colonies on the plates are confirmed to be positive for fecal coliform bacteria. 8.2 Result report According to the number of positive tubes confirmed as fecal coliforms, check the MPN retrieval table and report the MPN value of fecal coliforms per 100mL (g) (see Table 1). Table 1 Most Probable Number (MPN) Retrieval Table for Coliforms Number of Positive Tubes 1 mL(g)×3 0.1mL(g)×3 0.01mL(g)×3 100mL(g) 95% Confidence Limit GB/T4789.32003 Table 1 (Continued) 95% Confidence Limit Number of Positive Tubes 100mL(g) 0.01 mL(g)×3 0.1 mL(g)X3 1 mL(g)×3 ≥24000 Note 1: This table uses three dilutions (1mL(g), 0.1mL(g) and 0.01mL(g)), with three tubes for each dilution. Note 2: If the sample plates listed in the table are changed to 10mL(g), 1mL(g) and 0.1mL(g), the numbers in the table should be reduced by 10 times accordingly. If they are changed to 0.1mL(g), 0.01mL(g) and 0.001mL(g), the numbers in the table should be increased by 10 times accordingly. The rest can be deduced by analogy. 18 Tip: This standard content only shows part of the intercepted content of the complete standard.
