Section II: <strong>Procedure</strong> <strong>for</strong> Primary Isolation<br />

Adjusted and/or supplemented as required to meet the per<strong>for</strong>mance criteria. There is a<br />

fluorescent sensor embedded in silicone on the bottom of the tube. The tube is flushed with<br />

10% CO2 at the time of filling and then capped with polypropylene screw caps. Keep the<br />

caps closed until you are ready to make any addition to the medium. Open the cap <strong>for</strong> as<br />

little time as possible.<br />

b. <strong>MGIT</strong> growth supplement (enrichment)<br />

<strong>MGIT</strong> growth supplement is provided <strong>for</strong> the BACTEC <strong>MGIT</strong> 960, 7 ml tube. For manual<br />

<strong>MGIT</strong>, a different enrichment (BBL <strong>MGIT</strong> OADC, 15 ml) is used. The enrichment must be<br />

added to the <strong>MGIT</strong> medium prior to inoculation of a specimen. <strong>MGIT</strong> growth supplement<br />

contains 15 ml of the following approximate <strong>for</strong>mula:<br />

� Bovine Albumin -------------------50.0 gm<br />

� Dextrose-----------------------------20.0 gm<br />

� Catalase-------------------------------0.03 gm<br />

� Oleic Acid--------------------------- 0.1 gm<br />

� Polyoxyethyline state (POES) ---- 1.1 gm<br />

<strong>MGIT</strong> growth supplement, or OADC enrichment, is a sterile product. Handle aseptically.<br />

Do not use if turbid or if it appears to be contaminated.<br />

Do not leave <strong>MGIT</strong> tube caps open after adding OADC. It is important to add the growth<br />

supplement in the biological safety cabinet to avoid contaminating the medium.<br />

c. <strong>MGIT</strong> PANTA<br />

Contamination can be reduced by supplementing the medium with a mixture of antimicrobial<br />

PANTA prior to the inoculation of specimen.<br />

Each vial of <strong>MGIT</strong> PANTA (<strong>for</strong> <strong>MGIT</strong> 960) contains a lyophilized mixture of the<br />

antimicrobials with the concentrations, at the time of production, as follows:<br />

� Polymyxin B-----------------------6,000 units<br />

� Amphotericin B-------------------- 600 µg<br />

� Nalidixic Acid----------------------2,400 µg<br />

� Trimethoprim----------------------- 600 µg<br />

� Azlocillin---------------------------- 600 µg<br />

For manual <strong>MGIT</strong>, the procedure <strong>for</strong> adding PANTA differs but the final concentrations of<br />

PANTA antimicrobials in the medium are the same in both the systems.<br />
