Mueller Hinton Broth - HiMedia Labs

1 Please refer disclaimer Hinton BrothM391 Mueller Hinton Broth is recommended to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to sulphonamides by the tube dilutionmethod. Also used for primary isolation of gonococci and **IngredientsGms / LitreBeef, infusion acid pH ( at 25 C) **Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parametersDirectionsSuspend 21 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Mix well and dispense into tubes as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121 C) for 15 And InterpretationThe Mueller Hinton formulation was originally developed as a simple, transparent agar medium for the cultivation of pathogenicNeisseria species (2).

2 Other media were subsequently developed that replaced the use of Mueller Hinton Agar for the cultivationof pathogenic Neisseria species, but it became widely used in the determination of sulfonamide resistance of gonococciand other organisms. Mueller Hinton Broth is recommended for dilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing of all species ofmost commonly encountered aerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria (3, 1).Beef infusion and casein acid hydrolysate provide nitrogenous compounds, carbon, sulphur and other essential nutrients.

3 Starchacts as a protective colloid against toxic substances present in the medium. Starch hydrolysis yields dextrose, which serves asa source of energy. These ingredients are selected for low thymine and thymidine content as determined by MIC values forEnterococcus faecalis with sulfamethoxazoletrimethoprim (SXT). Calcium and magnesium ion concentrations are adjustedto provide the amounts recommended by CLSI to give the correct MIC values with aminoglycosides and Pseudomonasaeruginosa (3).Quality ControlAppearanceCream to yellow homogeneous free flowing powderColour and Clarity of prepared mediumLight amber coloured clear solution in tubesReactionReaction of w/v aqueous solution at 25 C.
