2.6.1. STERILITY 2.6.1 无菌检查法

The test is applied to substances, preparations or articles which, according to the Pharmacopoeia, are required to be sterile. However, a satisfactory result only indicates that no contaminating micro-organism has been found in the sample examined in the conditions of the test.

本检查方法适用于按照药典要求应当无菌的原料、制剂或其他物质。但是，如果按照本无菌检查法的结果符合要求，仅表明在该检查条件下未发现微生物污染。

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION 微生物污染防范

The test for sterility is carried out under aseptic conditions. In order to achieve such conditions, the test environment has to be adapted to the way in which the sterility test is performed. The precautions taken to avoid

contamination are such that they do not affect any micro-organisms which are to be revealed in the test. The working conditions in which the tests are performed are monitored regularly by appropriate sampling of the working area and by carrying out appropriate controls.

无菌检测试验应在无菌的条件下进行。为了达到这样的条件，检测环境应当与无菌检测的操作要求相适应。避免污染的防范措施应当不对本检查方法进行检测的微生物造成影响（应并不影响用本检查法检测的微生物）。通过对工作区域的适当取样以及进行适当的控制来对无菌检查的工作环境进行例行监测。

CULTURE MEDIA AND INCUBATION TEMPERATURES 培养基和培养温度

Media for the test may be prepared as described below, or equivalent commercial media may be used provided that they comply with the growth promotion test.

应按下面描述的方法制备无菌检查的培养介质，如果满足生长促进试验要求，与本处所述培养基相当的商业化培养基也可以采用（也可采用与本处……）。

The following culture media have been found to be suitable for the test for sterility. Fluid thioglycollate medium is primarily intended for the culture of

2

anaerobic bacteria; however, it will also detect aerobic bacteria. Soya -bean casein digest medium is suitable for the culture of both fungi and aerobic bacteria.

下述的培养基已被证明（经证明）适用于无菌检查。硫乙醇酸盐流体培养基主要用于厌氧菌培养，但是，也适用于需氧菌检测。大豆酪蛋白消化物培养基适用于真菌和需氧菌培养。

Mix the L-cystine, agar, sodium chloride, glucose, water-soluble yeast extract and pancreatic digest of casein with the water R and heat until solution is effected. Dissolve the sodium thioglycollate or thioglycollic acid in the solution and, if necessary, add 1 M sodium hydroxide so that, after sterilisation, the solution will have a pH of 7.1±0.2. If filtration is necessary, heat the solution again without boiling and filter while hot through moistened filter paper. Add the resazurin sodium solution, mix and place the medium in suitable vessels which provide a ratio of surface to depth of medium such that not more than the upper half of the medium has undergon e a

colour change indicative of oxygen uptake at the end of the incubation period. Sterilise using a validated process. If the medium is stored, store at a

temperature between 2 °C and 25 °C in a sterile, airtight container. If more than the upper one-third of the medium has acquired a pink colour, the medium may be restored once by heating the containers in a water-bath or in free-flowing steam until the pink colour disappears and cooling quickly, taking care to prevent the introduction of non -sterile air into the container.

Do not use the medium for a longer storage period than has been validated. 将L-胱氨酸、琼脂、氯化钠、葡萄糖、水溶性酵母提取物以及酪蛋白胰酶消化物与水R混合，加热至溶解。将硫乙醇酸钠或硫乙醇酸用上述溶液溶解，必要时用1M氢氧化钠调节pH值，使灭菌后培养基溶液的pH值为7.1±0.2。如需要过滤处理，将溶液在此加热（加热此溶液），但不得煮到沸腾，乘热采用经润湿的滤纸进行过滤。加入刃天青钠溶液，混合均匀，将制备的培养基装入合适的容器中。在该容器中，培养基的表面和高度应具有恰当的比例，以便在灭菌结束后指示氧气摄入的颜色变化不超过培养基的上半部分。采用经验证的工艺灭菌。如果需要保存，将培养基装入无菌、气密容器并在2-25°C 之间储存。如果培养基的上面超过1/3的部分已经出现粉红色，将装有培养基的容器采用水浴或自由流动蒸气加热，直到粉红颜色消失，之后快速冷却，注意预防非无菌的气体被引入装培养基的容器，以此进行培养基再生处理。如果培养基保存的时间超过经验证的保存期限，不得使用。（禁止使用超过验证储存期限的培养基）

Fluid thioglycollate medium is to be incubated at 30-35 °C. For products containing a mercurial preservative that cannot be tested by the

Carry out a test as described below under Test for sterility of the product to be examined using exactly the same methods except for the following modifications.

除了以下一些变动，其余完全按照供试品的无菌检测项下描述的方法进行检测。（完全按照……，以下变动除外：）

Membrane filtration. After transferring the contents of the container or containers to be tested to the membrane add an inoculum of a small number of viable micro-organisms (not more than 100 CFU) to the final portion of sterile diluent used to rinse the filter.

薄膜过滤法 : 将待测容器的内容物转至薄膜后，采用冲洗滤器的最后一部分无菌稀释剂接种少量（不超过100CFU）活试验菌。

Direct inoculation. After transferring the content of the container or containers to be tested (for catgut and other surgical sutures for veterinary use: strands) to the culture medium add an inoculum of a small number of viable micro -organisms (not more than 100 CFU) to the medium.

8

直接接种法: 将待测容器的内容物（对于肠线或其它兽用手术缝合线：若干股线）转至培养基，再向培养基中接种少量（不超过100CFU）活试验菌。

In both cases use the same micro-organisms as those described above under Growth promotion test of aerobes, anaerobes and fungi. Perform a growth promotion test as a positive control. Incubate all the containers containing medium for not more than 5 days.

这两种方法采用的都是需氧菌、厌氧菌和真菌的生长促进试验 项下提到的试验菌里的同一种菌株。进行生长促进试验，作为阳性对照。所有含培养基容器的培养时间不超过5天。

If clearly visible growth of micro-organisms is obtained after the incubation, visually comparable to that in the control vessel without product, either the product possesses no antimicrobial activity under the conditions of the test or such activity has been satisfactorily eliminated. The test for sterility may then be carried out without further modification.

如果供试品在接种后可观察到清晰可见的微生物生长，目测与不含供试品的对照容器相当。说明供试品在测定试验条件下无抗微生物活性，或者该活性被有效消除。不需要对方法进行改进就可以用于无菌检查。

If clearly visible growth is not obtained in the presence of the product to be tested, visually comparable to that in the control vessels without product, the product possesses antimicrobial activity that has not been satisfactorily eliminated under the conditions of the test. Modify the conditions in order to eliminate the antimicrobial activity and repeat the method suitability test.

如果含有供试品的容器中未观察到清晰可见的微生物生长，目测与不含供试品的对照容器相当。则供试品具有抗微生物活性，在测定试验条件下未能有效去除。需要变更测定条件以消除其抗微生物活性，并重复方法适用性检测。

This method suitability test is performed: 方法适用性检测在以下情况下应进行：

a) when the test for sterility has to be carried out on a new product; 当无菌检查法用于新的产品检测时；

b) whenever there is a change in the experimental conditions of the test. 每当检测试验条件发生改变的时候。

9

The method suitability test may be performed simultaneously with the test for sterility of the product to be examined.

方法适用性检测可与供试品无菌检查同时进行。

TEST FOR STERILITY OF THE PRODUCT TO BE EXAMINED 供品的无菌检查

The test may be carried out using the technique of membrane filtration or by direct inoculation of the culture media with the product to be examined. Appropriate negative controls are included. The technique of membrane filtration is used whenever the nature of the product permits, that is, for filterable aqueous preparations, for alcoholic or oily preparations and for preparations miscible with or soluble in aqueous or oily solvents provided these solvents do not have an antimicrobial effect in the conditions of the test.

供试品的无菌检查可以采用薄膜过滤法或培养基直接接种法进行测定，应当包含适当的阴性对照。如果供试品中的溶剂在测定条件下无抗微生物活性，当产品性质允许时，薄膜过滤法可广泛应用于可过滤的水性制剂、醇溶性或油溶性制剂以及可与水性或油性溶剂混合或溶解的制剂。

Membrane filtration. Use membrane filters having a nominal pore size not greater than 0.45 μm whose effectiveness to retain micro-organisms has been established. Cellulose nitrate filters, for example, are used for aqueous, oily and weakly alcoholic solutions and cellulose acetate filters, for example, for strongly alcoholic solutions. Specially adapted filters may be needed for certain products, e.g. for antibiotics.

薄膜过滤法 使用标示孔径不大于0.45μm的、经确定可有效截留微生物的膜过滤器。比如，硝酸纤维素过滤器可用于水性、油性以及弱醇性溶液，而醋酸纤维素可用于强醇性溶液。对于某些产品，比如抗生素，可能需要特定的过滤器。

The technique described below assumes that membranes about 50 mm in diameter will be used. If filters of a different diameter are used the volumes of the dilutions and the washings should be adjusted accordingly. The filtration apparatus and membrane are sterilised by appropriate means. The apparatus is designed so that the solution to be examined can be introduced and filtered under aseptic conditions; it permits the aseptic removal of the membrane for

10

transfer to the medium or it is suitable for carrying out the incubation after adding the medium to the apparatus itself.

以下描述的方法中使用的是50mm的薄膜，如果使用不同尺寸的薄膜，稀释和冲洗的体积应当进行相应调节。过滤的设备和薄膜应当采用适当的方式进行灭菌。应对设备进行设计，以便供试品溶液可以加入并在无菌条件下进行过滤；设备应支持无菌状态下去除薄膜来进行培养基转运，或者适合将培养基加入设备中后进行培养。

Aqueous solutions. If appropriate, transfer a small quantity of a suitable, sterile diluent such as a 1 g/L neutral solution of meat or casein peptone pH 7.1 ± 0.2 onto the membrane in the apparatus and filter. The diluent may contain suitable neutralising substances and/or appropriate inactivating substances for example in the case of antibiotics.

水性溶液 如合适，将少量适当的无菌稀释剂（比如1 g/L中性肉或酪蛋白胨，pH 7.1 ± 0.2）转至设备的滤膜上并进行过滤。在产品为抗生素等情形中，稀释剂可以包含适当具有中和作用和/或具有灭活作用的物质。

Transfer the contents of the container or containers to be tested to the membrane or membranes, if necessary after diluting to the volume used in the method suitability test with the chosen sterile diluent but in any case using not less than the quantities of the product to be examined prescribed in Table 2.6.1.-2. Filter immediately. If the product has antimicrobial properties, wash the membrane not less than 3 times by filtering through it each time the volume of the chosen sterile diluent used in the method suitability test. Do not exceed a washing cycle of 5 times 100 mL per filter, even if during the method suitability test it has been demonstrated that such a cycle does not fully eliminate the antimicrobial activity. Transfer the whole membrane to the culture medium or cut it aseptically into 2 equal parts and transfer one half to each of 2 suitable media. Use the same volume of each medium as in the method suitability test. Alternatively, transfer the medium onto the membrane in the apparatus. Incubate the media for not less than 14 days.

将供试品容器内容物转至滤膜表面，必要时可采用选定的无菌稀释剂稀释至方法适用性检测中使用的体积，但任何时候所检测的供试品的数量均不得低于表2.6.1.-2规定的量。立即过滤。如果供试品具有抗微生物活性，采用选用的

11

稀释剂过滤冲洗滤膜至少3次，每次冲洗的体积按照方法适用性检测中使用的体积。每个冲洗循环不要超过5次及100mL/次，即使方法适用性检测已证明这样的循环并不能完全消除供试品的抗微生物活性。转移整个滤膜到培养基中或者将其在无菌条件下剪切成大小相同的量块然后将每一部分分别转移到2种适合的培养基中。每种培养基使用的体积和方法适用性检测中的一致。也可以将培养基加入设备中的滤膜上。所得培养基培养时间不得少于14天。

Soluble solids. Use for each medium not less than the quantity prescribed in Table 2.6.1.-2 of the product dissolved in a suitable solvent such as the solvent provided with the preparation, water for injections, saline or a 1 g/L neutral solution of meat or casein peptone and proceed with the test as described above for aqueous solutions using a membrane appropriate to the chosen solvent.

水溶性固体 对于每个培养基，需要将不少于表2.6.1.-2中规定数量的供试品采用合适的溶剂（比如，产品伴有的溶剂、注射用水、生理盐水以及1 g/L中性肉或酪蛋白胨）溶解，采用适用于选用溶剂的薄膜按照上述水性溶液部分描述的方法进行测定。

Oils and oily solutions. Use for each medium not less than the quantity of the product prescribed in Table 2.6.1.-2. Oils and oily solutions of sufficiently low viscosity may be filtered without dilution through a dry membrane. Viscous oils may be diluted as necessary with a suitable sterile diluent such as isopropyl myristate shown not to have antimicrobial activity in the conditions of the test. Allow the oil to penetrate the membrane by its own weight then filter, applying the pressure or suction gradually. Wash the membrane at least 3 times by filtering through it each time about 100 mL of a suitable sterile solution such as 1 g/L neutral meat or casein peptone containing a suitable emulsifying agent at a concentration shown to be appropriate in the method suitability test, for example polysorbate 80 at a concentration of 10 g/L. Transfer the membrane or

membranes to the culture medium or media or vice versa as described above for aqueous solutions, and incubate at the same temperature and for the same times.

油及油性溶液 对于每个培养基，需要选用不少于表2.6.1.-2中规定数量的供试品进行检测。粘度十分低的油和油性溶液可不经稀释直接采用干燥薄膜过滤。粘性较大的油需要选用十四烷酸异丙酯等合适的、在试验测定条件无抗微生物活性的合适无菌稀释剂进行稀释。让油依靠自身重力作用渗透金薄膜，

12

然后逐渐通过压力或吸力进行过滤。用100mL含有适当乳化剂的1 g/L中性肉或酪蛋白胨等合适无菌溶液过滤冲洗滤膜至少3次，该溶剂中包含适量的乳化剂，其浓度（适用于方法适用性检测）在方法验证试验中表面适用，例如聚山梨醇酯80的浓度选用10 g/L,按照以上水溶液项下的方法同样操作，转移薄膜至培养基中，并在相同的温度温孵培养相同的时间。

Table 2.6.1.-2 – Minimum quantity to be used for each medium 表2.6.1.-2——用于每个培养基的最小数量 Quantity per container 每个容器中的数量 Minimum quantity to be used for each medium unless otherwise justified and authorized 最小使用数量(除非另有依据并获得许可) Liquids 液体 — less than 1 mL 小于1 mL — 1-40 mL 1-40 mL — greater than 40 mL and not greater than 100 mL 大于40mL，不大于100mL —greater than 100 mL 大于100mL 10 per cent of the contents of the container but not less than 20 mL 该容器内容物的10%，但不得少于20mL The whole contents of each container 每个容器的总内容物 Half the contents of each container but not less than 1 mL 每个容器中内容物的一半，但不得少于1mL 20 mL 13

Antibiotic liquids 抗生素溶液 Insoluble preparations, creams and ointments to be suspended or emulsified 待悬浮或乳化的不溶性配制品、乳膏、油膏 Solids 固体 — less than 50 mg 少于50mg — 50mg or more but less than 300mg 50mg或以上，少于300mg — 300mg to 5g 300mg至5g —greater than 5 g 大于5g Catgut and other surgical sutures for veterinary use 兽医用肠线和其他外科缝合线

1mL The whole contents of each container to provide not less than 200 mg 每个容器的总内容物，提供不少于200mg The whole contents of each container每个容器的总内容物 Half the contents of each container but not less than 50 mg 每个容器中内容物的一半，但不得少于50mg 150mg 500 mg 3 sections of a strand (each 30 cm long) 一股线的3部分(每个30cm长) Ointments and creams. Use for each medium not less than the quantities of the product prescribed in Table 2.6.1.-2. Ointments in a fatty base and emulsions of the water-in-oil type may be diluted to 1 per cent in isopropyl myristate as described above, by heating, if necessary, to not more than 40 °C. In exceptional cases it may be necessary to heat to not more than 44 °C. Filter as rapidly as possible and proceed as described above for oils and oily solutions.

14

软膏剂与霜剂 对于每个培养基，需要选用不少于表2.6.1.-2中规定数量的供试品进行检测。脂性基质的软膏和油包水结构的乳剂可以用前面提到的十四烷酸异丙酯稀释至1%，必要时可加热但温度不得超过40°C。在某些特殊情况下，可能需要加热至不超过44°C。尽快进行过滤，按照油和油性溶液中描述的方法进行测定。

Direct inoculation of the culture medium. Transfer the quantity of the preparation to be examined prescribed in Table 2.6.1.-2 directly into the culture medium so that the volume of the product is not more than 10 per cent of the volume of the medium, unless otherwise prescribed.

直接接种法 按照表2.6.1.-2规定的数量，将供试品直接转移到培养基中。除非另有说明，供试品体积不得超过培养基体积的10%。

If the product to be examined has antimicrobial activity, carry out the test after neutralising this with a suitable neutrali sing substance or by dilution in a sufficient quantity of culture medium. When it is necessary to use a large volume of the product it may be preferable to use a concentrated culture medium prepared in such a way that it takes account of the subsequent dilution. Where appropriate, the concentrated medium may be added directly to the product in its container.

如果供试品具有抗微生物活性，进行检测前先用合适的中和试剂或者采用足够数量的培养基进行稀释。如果测定需要的供试品的体积较大，最好使用制备时已经考虑后续稀释的浓缩培养基。如适合，浓缩培养基可直接加到容器装载的供试品中。

Oily liquids. Use media to which have been added a suitable emulsifying agent at a concentration shown to be appropriate in the method suitability test, for example polysorbate 80 at a concentration of 10g/L.

油性溶液 采用添加有合适乳化剂的培养基，其中的乳化剂浓度为方法适用性试验已证明合适的浓度，比如，聚山梨醇酯80的浓度选用10 g/L。

Ointments and creams. Prepare by diluting to about 1 in 10 by emulsifying with the chosen emulsifying agent in a suitable sterile diluent such as a 1 g/L neutral solution of meat or casein peptone. Transfer the diluted product to a medium not containing an emulsifying agent.

15

软膏剂与霜剂 将供试品用1 g/L中性肉或酪蛋白胨等合适无菌稀释剂，通过稀释剂中选用的乳化剂的乳化作用，稀释10倍。将稀释后的供试品转移到不含乳化剂的培养基中。

Incubate the inoculated media for not less than 14 days. Observe the cultures several times during the incubation period. Shake cultures containing oily products gently each day. However when fluid thioglycollate medium is used for the detection of anaerobic micro-organisms keep shaking or mixing to a minimum in order to maintain anaerobic conditions.

接种后的培养基培养不少于14天，期间对培养基进行多次观测。对于含油性供试品的培养基，每天进行轻轻振摇。但是，当选用硫乙醇酸盐流体培养基进行厌氧微生物检查时，应当保持最轻微的振摇或混合状态，以维持厌氧条件。

Catgut and other surgical sutures for veterinary use. Use for each medium not less than the quantities of the product prescribed in Table 2.6.1.-2. Open the sealed package using aseptic precautions and remove 3 sections of the strand for each culture medium. Carry out the test on 3 sections, each 30 cm long, cut off from the beginning, the centre and the end of the strand. Use whole strands from freshly opened cassette packs. Transfer each section of the strand to the selected medium. Use sufficient medium to cover adequately the material to be tested (20 mL to 150 mL).

兽医用肠线和其他外科缝合线 对于每个培养基，需要选用不少于表2.6.1.-2中规定数量的供试品进行检测。采用无菌防护措施打开密封包装，为每个培养基取出3根线。对于每根线，分别在开始、中间和末端3个位置各取1节，每节30厘米长。从新打开的卡式包装盒中取出整股线。将线的每一部分转移到选定的培养基。采用足量的培养基充分盖住待测材料（20-150mL）。

OBSERVATION AND INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS 观测与结果解释

At intervals during the incubation period and at its conclusion, examine the media for macroscopic evidence of microbial growth. If the material being tested renders the medium turbid so that the presence or absence of microbial growth cannot be readily determined by visual examination, 14 days after the beginning of incubation transfer portions (each not less than 1mL) of the medium to fresh

16

vessels of the same medium and then incubate the original and transfer vessels for not less than 4 days.

在培养期间每隔一定时间以及培养结束时，对培养基进行检查，观察时候有肉眼可见的微生物生长。如果供试品导致培养基浑浊，则无法轻易用肉眼检测是否存在或者不存在微生物生长。培养开始14天后，此培养液的若干部分（每个部分不少于1mL）转移至装有相同培养基的新鲜容器中，然后将初始的以及转移后的容器培养不少于4天。

If no evidence of microbial growth is found, the product to be examined comp lies with the test for sterility. If evidence of microbial growth is found the product to be examined does not comply with the test for sterility, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the test was invalid for causes unrelated to the product to be examined. The test may be considered invalid only if one or more of the following conditions are fulfilled:

如果未发现存在微生物生长的证据，则检测的样品符合无菌检查的要求。如果发现有微生物生长的证据，则检测样品不符合无菌检查的要求，除非有清楚的证据说明有与供试品无关的原因导致检测方法无效。只要满足下面条件中的一条，该方法就被视为无效：

a) the data of the microbiological monitoring of the sterility testing facility show a fault;

无菌检测机构的微生物检测数据存在缺陷；

b) a review of the testing procedure used during the test in question reveals a fault;

对无菌检测的检测方法进行审核时发现有缺陷； c) microbial growth is found in the negative controls; 阴性对照样品中被发现有微生物生长；

d) after determination of the identity of the micro-organisms isolated from the test, the growth of this species or these species may be ascribed unequivocally to faults with respect to the material and/or the technique used in conducting the sterility test procedure.

对无菌检查中分离的微生物进行特性检查后发现，这或这类微生物的生长明确源于无菌检查操作方法中所使用的材料和/或技术。

If the test is declared to be invalid it is repeated with the same number of units as in the original test. If no evidence of microbial growth is found in the repeat test the product examined complies with the test for sterility. If microbial growth is found in the repeat test the product examined does not comply with the test for sterility.

如果该测定被宣布无效，应采用和初次测定时同样数量单位的样品进行重复检测。如果重复检测时未发现有微生物生长的证据，则检测样品符合无菌检测的要求。如果发现有微生物生长的证据，则检测样品不符合无菌检查的要求。

APPLICATION OF THE TEST TO PARENTERAL PREPARATIONS, OPHTHALMIC AND OTHER NON-INJECTABLE PREPARATIONS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE TEST FOR STERILITY

无菌检查在要求符合无菌要求的注射药品、眼用药品以及其它非注射药品中的应用

When using the technique of membrane filtration, use, whenever possible, the whole contents of the container, but not less than the quantities indicated in Table 2.6.1.-2, diluting where necessary to about 100 mL with a suitable sterile solution, such as 1 g/L neutral meat or casein peptone.

当使用薄膜过滤法时，只要可能，应当使用容器内的全部内容物，供试品数量不得少于表2.6.1.-2中规定数量。必要时可以选用1 g/L中性肉或酪蛋白胨等合适无菌溶液稀释到100 mL。

When using the technique of direct inoculation of media, use the quantities shown in Table 2.6.1.-2, unless otherwise justified and authorised. The tests for bacterial and fungal sterility are carried out on the same sample of the product to be examined.

当使用培养基直接接种法时，供试品数量不得少于表2.6.1.-2中规定数量，除非另有依据并获得许可。对细菌和真菌的无菌检查采用同样的检测样品进行考察。
