Comparison of direct serial dilution and most-probable-number methods for determining endotoxins in meats by the Limulus amoebocyte lysate test.

چکیده
When the endotoxin content of ground beef was determined by direct serial dilution and by three-tube most-probable-number methods, the results were not significantly different, although the latter method provided more specific values for individual samples.

Positive Limulus amoebocyte lysate reactions with polyriboinosinic acid x polyribocytidylic acid.
The annealed copolymer polyriboinosinic acid x polyriboinosinic acid reacted with Limulus amoebocyte lysate to cause gelation at a concentration approximately 2,000-fold or greater than bacterial endotoxins. This copolymer was pyrogenic in rabbits and demonstrated hypochromicity, but no significant correlation was noted among Limulus amoebocyte lysate reactivity, progenicity, and hypochromicity...
متن کاملLimulus amoebocyte lysate assay for detection and quantitation of endotoxin in a small-volume parenteral product.
A Limulus amoebocyte lysate gel-clotting method for the determination of endotoxin in a small-volume parenteral product has been described. Sample dilution with 0.1 M potassium phosphate monobasic buffer (pH 8.0) effectively eliminated assay interference, whereas dilution with water did not. The threshold pyrogenic dose for Escherichia coli EC-2 and O127:B8 endotoxins was determined to be 1.0 n...
متن کاملDetection of endotoxin in antibiotic solutions with Limulus amoebocyte lysate.
Twenty-eight antibiotics were tested with the Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay to determine their non-inhibitory concentrations (NICs). The Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay was found to be a valid test for most of the antibiotics tested; the NICs were found to be greater than the minimum valid test concentrations. Borderline results were obtained with cefamandole nafate and neomycin sulfate. Poly...
متن کاملChromogenic Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay for rapid detection of gram-negative bacteriuria.
A chromogenic Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay was evaluated as a rapid screening test for the detection of clinically significant gram-negative bacteriuria. The development of a distinctive yellow color after the addition of chromogenic substrate to the Limulus amoebocyte lysate-urine reaction mixture was used to measure greater than or equal to 10(5) gram-negative bacteria per ml. A total of 3...
متن کاملRelative potencies of four reference endotoxin standards as measured by the Limulus amoebocyte lysate and USP rabbit pyrogen tests.
Four commonly used reference endotoxin standards, Escherichia coli O113:H10:K0, E. coli O55:B5, Salmonella abortusequi, and Shigella dysenteriae were compared by the USP rabbit pyrogen and the Limulus amoebocyte lysate tests. By the rabbit pyrogen test, S. abortus equi was identified as the most potent endotoxin, followed closely by E. coli O113:H10:K0 and E. coli O55:B5.
