<meta name="description" content="This protocol describes a procedure for detection and quantitative determination of microbial contamination in a nanoparticle preparation. Nanoparticle samples, along with controls, are spread on the surface of agar and growth of bacterial colonies is monitored after 72 hr of incubation. Additionally, to detect autotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria which grow in media containing low nutrient levels and may contaminate cell culture after passing rich medium agar plate test, the same nanoparticle samples are spiked into RPMI and incubated up to 7 days. The intended purpose of this assay is to avoid introduction of microbial contamination into in vitro cell cultures and in vivo animal studies utilizing the test-nanomaterial, as microbial contamination will confound the results of these tests. The second goal of this test is to determine bacterial identity in samples found to be positive. The ID results can be helpful in determining the source of contamination. This assay is not intended to certify the nanomaterial as sterile.">

Introduction</h2><p>This protocol describes a procedure for detection and quantitative determination of microbial contamination in a nanoparticle preparation. Nanoparticle samples, along with controls, are spread on the surface of agar and growth of bacterial colonies is monitored after 72 hr of incubation. Additionally, to detect autotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria which grow in media containing low nutrient levels and may contaminate cell culture after passing rich medium agar plate test, the same nanoparticle samples are spiked into RPMI and incubated up to 7 days. The intended purpose of this assay is to avoid introduction of microbial contamination into in vitro cell cultures and in vivo animal studies utilizing the test-nanomaterial, as microbial contamination will confound the results of these tests. The second goal of this test is to determine bacterial identity in samples found to be positive. The ID results can be helpful in determining the source of contamination. This assay is not intended to certify the nanomaterial as sterile.</p></div><div id="ncipr72.s2"><h2 id="_ncipr72_s2_">2.

<u>Inhibition Control</u>
</p><p>To assess whether nanoparticles can inhibit bacterial growth, a positive control sample at the same final dilution as described in <a href="#ncipr72.lt25">section 4.2</a> is spiked into the test nanoparticle sample. For example, spike 22 CFU per 2.2 mL of nanoparticle solution at a given dilution and use 1 mL for seeding into a paddle as described in <a href="#ncipr72.s6">section 6</a> below. The final inhibition control contains the same concentration of nanoparticles as nanoparticle-unspiked sample and the same concentration of bacteria as in the positive control (10 CFU/mL).</p><p>It is important to note, this control will only estimate anti-bacterial properties relevant to bacteria present in the given positive control. The anti-bacterial properties of a nanoparticle formulation are often specific to a given strain or type of bacteria and depend on nuances in the bacterial cell wall organization and other biological processes within bacterial cells. Therefore, if the analysis of antibacterial activity is of interest, it is advisable to perform such analysis using bacterial strains that are relevant to the expected type of anti-bacterial activity of the nanoparticle formulation. For example, if a nanoparticle is prepared to inhibit E. coli growth, then relevant strains of E. coli should be used. If such information is not available, conducting a test using a panel of bacteria representative of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is recommended.</p></dd></dl></dl></div><div id="ncipr72.s5"><h2 id="_ncipr72_s5_">5. Study Samples</h2><p>The assay requires 5 mL of the test nanoparticle in its final formulation. The concentration of nanoparticles in this formulation is case-specific. Samples are typically tested at stock and at several serial 1:10 dilutions, i.e., no dilution, 1:10, 1:100, 1:1000. When the final formulation is not available, for example when a test nanomaterial is received from a commercial supplier in a form not intended for biomedical applications, prepare a stock solution at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. The weight information can refer to either active pharmaceutical ingredient or total construct; it can also represent total metal content or other units. Such information is specific to each nanoparticle and should be recorded to aid result interpretation.</p><p>Test nanoparticles should be reconstituted in sterile PBS, water or in appropriate vehicle. If vehicle is a buffer or media other than water or PBS, the vehicle control should be included in the test. The pH of the study sample should be checked using a pH microelectrode and adjusted with either sterile NaOH or HCl as necessary to be within the pH range 6-8. If NaOH or HCl are not compatible with a given nanoparticle formulation, adjust pH using a procedure recommended by the nanomaterial manufacturer. To avoid sample contamination from microelectrode, always remove a small aliquot of the sample for use in measuring the pH.</p></div><div id="ncipr72.s6"><h2 id="_ncipr72_s6_">6.
