Abstract: Objective To compare the difference between media, incubation temperatures and culture times on the choice of hemodialysate and reverse osmosis water for microbiological monitoring of heterotrophic plate count, and further to confirm the best culture method of microbiological monitoring for hemodialysate and reverse osmosis. Methods The polluted samples were simulated by using sterile dialysate and sterile reverse osmosis water, and then were incubated in 25℃ and 35℃ with eosin methylene blue agar(EMB), tryptone soy agar(TSA) and tryptone glucose extract agar(TGEA)for 48 h, 72 h and 7 d, respectively. Results Either on 25℃ or 35℃, the bacteria's growth condition in TGEA was better than those under other conditions(P<0.05). The colony numbers of 72 h incubation were more than those of 48 h incubation in all media(P<0.05). However, there was no statistical significance of colony numbers between 7 d incubation and 72 h incubation(P > 0.05). Conclusions The microbiological monitoring for hemodialysate and reverse osmosis water needs to use pour plate method with TGEA, incubating in 25℃ and 35℃ for 72 h, which may provide the effective reports for ensuring the safety of hemodialysis patients.
