Description

Description générale

Middlebrook 7H11 Agar Base media is used for the isolation, cultivation, and sensitivity testing of Mycobacterium species. This agar base contains many inorganic salts which help the growth of Mycobacteria. Citric acid formed from sodium citrate helps in retaining inorganic cations in solution. Glycerol supplies carbon and energy. The Middlebrook OADC Supplement (M0678) contains oleic acid, bovine albumin, sodium chloride, dextrose and catalase. Oleic acid and other long chain fatty acids are essential for the metabolism of Mycobacteria. Dextrose is an energy source. Catalase neutralizes toxic peroxides. Albumin protects tubercle bacilli from toxic agents. Malachite green partially inhibits other bacteria.

Application

There are two types of solid culture media for the primary isolation of Mycobacteria. Egg-based (Lowenstein’s formulation) and agar-based (Middlebrook formulation)
The latter has the following advantages over the egg-based media

The Middlebrook 7H11 agar base does not liquify easily in the presence of contaminating proteolytic organisms

There is less inactivation of added drugs when egg ingredients are absent
