Tryptic Soy Broth is a general-purpose liquid medium used in qualitative procedures for the sterility testing, enrichment, and cultivation of fastidious microorganisms. The formulation contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and long-chained peptides. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium and dextrose serves as a source of carbohydrate and energy.
Application
Tryptic Soy Broth is a widely used medium for culturing aerobic gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, fungus, routine blood cultures, and microbial biofilms. It is also been used as a growth medium to culture Staphylococcus aureus strains and as a growth medium for E.coli in the bacterial-killing assay (BKA) with bird plasma samples.
Suspend 30 g of dehydrated media in 1 litre of purified filtered water. Heat with frequent agitation and boil for one minute. Sterilize at 121°C for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C. Mix gently and dispense into sterile Petri dishes or sterile culture tubes.
Footnote
We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs. The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.

Immuno-compromised patients such as those undergoing cancer chemotherapy are susceptible to bacterial infections leading to biofilm matrix formation. This surrounding biofilm matrix acts as a diffusion barrier that binds up antibiotics and antibodies, promoting resistance to treatment. Developing non-invasive imaging
For most tissue engineering applications, surface modification and sterilization of polymers are critical aspects determining the implant success. The first part of this study is thus dedicated to modifying polycaprolactone (PCL) surfaces via plasma treatment using a medium pressure dielectric

Stress-induced effects on innate immune activity in wild birds have been difficult to predict. These difficulties may arise from the frequent assumptions that (1) the stress response influences different components of the immune response similarly, (2) stress-induced effects do not
