Description
Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) agar plates with 50 µg/mL streptomycin sulfate are formulated for the cultivation of most non-fastidious bacterial pathogens and for standardized antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Originally developed as a clear agar medium for the cultivation of Neisseria species, MHA has become the reference medium for determining sulfonamide resistance and for the diffusion of antimicrobial agents using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.
MHA demonstrates excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility for susceptibility testing, with low levels of sulfonamide, trimethoprim, and tetracycline inhibitors. The medium supports the growth of most non-fastidious bacteria and can be supplemented with 5% sheep blood or hemoglobin for testing fastidious organisms such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
The addition of 50 µg/mL streptomycin sulfate renders the medium selective by inhibiting the growth of streptomycin-sensitive bacteria, allowing for the isolation and testing of streptomycin-resistant strains from mixed samples.
* This product is manufactured under ISO 13485-certified and CE-approved facilities (Suppliers of DiagnoCine Precision). All final packaging, quality assurance, and testing are done at the DiagnoCine R&D and Quality Testing Center. All specific customization requests and assembly were accomplished at DiagnoCine Precision in Totowa, New Jersey, USA
