The invention relates to the technical field of microbiological detection, in particular to a method for detecting
clostridium in
cosmetics. The invention provides a modified reinforced
clostridium culture medium, a modified Columbia
agar culture medium and a method for detecting
clostridium in
cosmetics, and the method is specifically as follows: the modified reinforced clostridium culture medium can inhibit the activity of preservatives in the
cosmetics and improve the clostridium
detection rate by adding Tween 80,
lecithin and
sodium thiosulfate; according to the modified Columbia
agar culture medium,
polymyxin B and
gentamicin in a specific proportion are added, so that interference of non-target
bacteria can be effectively inhibited, and detection specificity is enhanced. Based on the two modified culture media, the detection method established by the invention adopts a
sample preparation mode of normal temperature and heating dual-condition treatment, and the
detection rate of target
bacteria can be remarkably improved. The method has the advantages of rapidness, high efficiency, high specificity, high
detection rate, low cost, simplicity and convenience in operation and the like, and is particularly suitable for rapid screening requirements of supervision departments and detection mechanisms.
