Applications for Bacterial Membrane Fractions in Sterile Pharmaceutical Quality Control

Abstract

m e commercially available bacterial membrane preparation Oxyrase was examined for use in quality control laboratory procedures for culturing anaerobic microorganisms, and as a media additive forparenteral product~lling line validation by media fill to detect anaerobes. Comparison studies between Oqrase products and conventional anaerobic culturing methods were performed. m e results from the studies showed Oxyrase for Broth to be effective in promoting the growth of anaerobes in nonprereduced media not normally used for anaerobic cultivation.
