Middlebrook 7H10 Agar is a solid medium recommended for use in qualitative procedures for the cultivation and isolation of mycobacteria. Mycobacteria are immobile, slow-growing, rod-shaped, gram-positive bacteria with high genomic content. The genus includes pathogens known to cause severe diseases in mammals, including tuberculosis and leprosy.
• Promotes:the faster growth ofMycobacterium
• Selective:Malachite-green dye is a selective agent, which partially inhibits bacteria other than mycobacteria.
• Ready-to-use: the convenience of prepared media.This medium contains inorganic salts which are essential to the growth of mycobacteria. Glycerol is a source of carbon and energy. Sodium citrate is converted to citric acid, which holds inorganic cations in solution. The malachite-green dye is a selective agent, which partially inhibits bacteria other than mycobacteria. Oleic Albumin Dextrose Catalase (OADC) Enrichment is a supplement which contains the following additives: sodium chloride to maintain osmotic equilibrium; dextrose, an energy source; catalase to destroy toxic peroxidases that may be present in the medium; oleic acid, which is required in the metabolism of mycobacterium; albumin to protect the tubercle bacilli against toxic agents.Not all products are available for sale in all territories.
