Description
Mueller Hinton Agar with 10 µg/mL gentamicin is a clear, modified nutrient-rich medium designed for the cultivation of non-fastidious bacterial pathogens and for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Originally developed for Neisseria species, Mueller Hinton Agar is now widely used for determining sulfonamide resistance and as the standard medium for the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.
The medium supports the growth of most non-fastidious bacteria and is recommended for the diffusion of antimicrobial agents from paper discs through the agar gel. It is characterized by low levels of sulfonamide, trimethoprim, and tetracycline inhibitors, ensuring reliable susceptibility results. The inclusion of gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, renders the medium selective by inhibiting gentamicin-sensitive bacteria, allowing for the isolation and testing of gentamicin-resistant strains.
Mueller Hinton Agar demonstrates excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility and is suitable for use with standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing protocols. It is not recommended for slow-growing organisms, anaerobes, or capnophiles, as extended incubation can degrade antibiotics and compromise test accuracy.
The medium is widely used in clinical, research, and quality control laboratories for standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing and the isolation of gentamicin-resistant bacteria.
