Quantity: 100 x 2 mL
Unit Size: Each
Use Middlebrook 7H9 Broth with Glycerol for isolation and cultivation of Mycobacterium species.
• Recommended for identification and susceptibility testing ofMycobacteria,Nocardiaeand other aerobicActinomycetesby CLSI^5.
• Ready-to-use– Convenience of prepared media.Middlebrook 7H9 Broth with Glycerol contains inorganic compounds that supply potassium, sulfur, magnesium, and phosphorus necessary for the growth of mycobacteria. Inorganic copper, iron, zinc, and calcium stimulate growth. Sodium citrate converts to citric acid in solution and holds certain inorganic cations. Ammonium sulfate is a source of nitrogen, dextrose and glycerol provide carbon and albumin binds to the free fatty acids which may be toxic to Mycobacterium species. Catalase destroys toxic peroxides and catalyzes the reaction of iron with molecular oxygen. Biotin is required for carboxylation and decarboxylation reactions and pyridoxine is a precursor of enzymatic activity.
