USP<1117> MICROBIOLOGICAL BEST LABORATORY PRACTICES
For the compendial sterility test that combines criticality of the test and higher risk of misinterpretation of results, it is now a standard practice to have a second analyst perform a contemporaneous evaluation of the sample (in test media) for microbial growth. Nonetheless, applying uncritically a contemporaneous reading by a second analyst (four-eyes principle) for all samples and microbiological tests is not recommended. Precision in counts may vary from one analyst to another (even if they are trained and qualified) as colonies may overlap, swarm over media, etc., allowing for misinterpretation. Microbiology is a “logarithmic science”; sample size is statistically weak and testing procedures have inherent variability. By tolerating no differences in counts, a high number of non-critical deviations will be generated, thus consuming resources unreasonably. |
