The estimate of inoculum concentration may be obtained by turbidimetric procedures for the challenge microorganisms and later confirmed by plate count. Refrigerate the suspension if not used within 2 hours at 2-8° C. Determine the number of CFU/mL in each suspension using the appropriate media and recovery incubation times to confirm the CFU/mL estimate. Use bacterial and yeast suspensions within 24 hr. of harvest. The mold preparation may be stored under refrigeration (2-8° C) for up to 7 days. Note: Alternative commercially available standardized cultures may be used in lieu of in-house prepared cultures. F. Procedure The procedure requires that the test be conducted with a suitable volume of product. It is advisable to begin with at least 20 mL of product. Use the original product containers whenever possible or five sterile, capped bacteriological containers of suitable size into which a suitable volume of product has been transferred. If the diluted product exhibits antimicrobial properties, specific neutralizers may need to be incorporated into the diluents or the recovery media. For purposes of testing, products have been divided into four categories: Category 1 – Injections, other parenteral including emulsions, otic products, sterile nasal products, and ophthalmic products made with aqueous bases or vehicles. Category 2 – Topically used products made with aqueous bases or vehicles, non-sterile nasal products, and emulsions, including those applied to mucous membranes. Category 3 – Oral products other than antacids, made with aqueous bases or vehicles. Category 4 – Antacids made with aqueous bases or vehicles. Inoculate each container with one of the prepared and standardized inoculums and mix. The volume of the suspension inoculums used is 0.5% to 1.0% of the volume of the product. The concentration of the test organisms added to the product for Categories 1, 2 and 3 is such that concentration of the test preparation immediately after inoculation is between 1x10 5 and 1x10 6 colony forming organisms (CFU) per mL of product. If no suitable neutralizing agent or method is found and method suitability requires significant dilution, a higher level of inoculum (e.g., 10 7 -10 8 ) may be used so that a 3-log unit reduction can |
