Anticlostridial agent 8-hydroxyquinoline improves the isolation of faecal bifidobacteria on modified Wilkins-Chalgren agar with mupirocin

Abstract: Routine isolation of bifidobacteria from mammalian faeces does not use a reliable selective agar with an anticlostridial agent. Overgrowth of clostridia may result in incorrect estimation of bifidobacterial counts. Thus, in order to improve the selectivity of existing media for bifidobacterial isolation, we chose the modified Wilkins-Chalgren agar with mupirocin and supplemented it with 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ), a molecule that shows anticlostridial activity without affecting the growth of bifidobacteria.

“…The selective antibacterial activity of 8-hydroxyquinoline against diarrheagenic pathogens seems to be enhanced with chlorine halogenation or by the presence of a nitro group and decreased with iodine halogenation and the presence of a sulfo group, as respectively observed for chloroxine, nitroxoline, and ferron in our study. The in vitro selective anticlostridial effect of 8-hydroxyquinoline with increased resistance of bifidobacteria was previously described in studies of Novakova et al [ 10 , 27 , 28 ], Skrivanova et al [ 29 ], and Kim et al [ 30 ]. However, data on its in vitro growth-inhibitory effects against a broader selection of diarrheagenic bacteria are limited.…”

“…In fact, in the past few years, scientists have been particularly interested in the cultivation of Bifidobacteria due the probiotic capacity of many species belonging to this genus (38). For that purpose, Novakova et al used Wilkins Chalgren agar medium with mucin supplemented with a selective anticlostridial agent called 8-hydroxyquinoline to enhance the isolation of Bifidobacteria (39). Similarly, another study focused on the selection of Bifidobacteria using antibiotics and a new medium containing mupirocin, glacial acetic acid and norfloxacin (40).…”
