FAQs Published Data Customer Reviews Related Products
  1. What is the primary application of Clostridium sporogenes spore suspension in research?

    Clostridium sporogenes spore suspensions are primarily used for sterilization validation studies, anaerobic microbiology research, and as a surrogate in pathogenicity testing. The spores' high resistance to heat and chemical agents makes them ideal for testing sterilization processes and studying anaerobic bacteria behavior in various condition.

  2. How should Clostridium sporogenes spore suspension be stored?

    Clostridium sporogenes spore suspensions should be stored at 2-8°C to maintain viability and stability. Proper storage conditions are essential to ensure the spores' effectiveness in experimental applications and to prevent any degradation or loss of viability over time.

  3. What are the safety precautions when handling Clostridium sporogenes spore suspension?

    When handling Clostridium sporogenes spore suspensions, it is crucial to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and lab coats, and to work in a biosafety cabinet if possible. Although C. sporogenes is non-pathogenic, standard microbiological practices should be followed to prevent contamination and ensure safety.

  4. Can Clostridium sporogenes spore suspension be used for comparative studies with Clostridium botulinum?

    Yes, Clostridium sporogenes spore suspensions are often used as non-toxic surrogates for Clostridium botulinum in comparative studies. Due to their similar resistance profiles, C. sporogenes can be used to validate sterilization methods and study spore resistance mechanisms without the risks associated with C. botulinum​.

  5. How are Clostridium sporogenes spores quantified in the suspension?

    The concentration of Clostridium sporogenes spores in a suspension is typically determined through direct spore counts using microscopy or by plating techniques that allow for the enumeration of colony-forming units (CFUs). Accurate quantification ensures reliable results in sterilization validation and microbiological studies.

Temperature values in meat and meat+blood mixture subjected to CaO action (Cº)

The study focuses on the efficacy of CaO (quicklime) in inactivating Clostridium sporogenes spores in meat waste. Pathogenic species like Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium botulinum in animal by-products pose significant health risks due to their potent toxins. The research evaluates the viability of Clostridium sporogenes, a surrogate for pathogenic clostridia, under different doses of CaO in poultry meat and meat mixed with swine blood. Two CaO doses, 50% and 70%, were tested for their sanitization effectiveness. Microbiological analysis showed that a 70% CaO dose completely inactivated Clostridium spores within 48 hours, achieving a peak temperature of 67°C and a pH above 12. The lower dose (50%) caused a gradual spore reduction, indicating that rapid alkalization was crucial for effective sanitization. The study demonstrates that CaO hygienization can significantly reduce health risks by inactivating spores in animal waste, making it a viable method for safe agricultural applications. These findings suggest that CaO treatment is effective in ensuring biosafety in the processing and utilization of meat waste, aligning with EU regulations for alternative waste disposal methods.
