Thermo Scientific™ Mueller Hinton Agar (Dehydrated)

Description

Perform effortless Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) using Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Mueller Hinton Agar (Dehydrated), a medium designed and manufactured according to the European standard, EUCAST¹ and the American standard, CLSI^{2, 3, 4}.

The major use of Mueller-Hinton Agar is for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST). It has become the standard medium for the Kirby-Bauer method^{5, 6} and can be used in internationally recognized standard procedures.

• Specified by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) formerly the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) ^2,3,4 and The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST)¹
• Standard medium for the Kirby-Bauer method^{5, 6}

The inclusion of starch in the medium ensures that toxic factors produced during microbial growth will be absorbed, and its presence is often essential to establish growth from very small inocula.

Antibiotic susceptibility tests are performed in accordance with and meet the acceptance limits of the current ISO/TS 16782 using the following microorganisms:

Staphylococcus aureus ATCC®25923 WDCM00034
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC®29213 WDCM00131
