Principle

Mueller Hinton Medium duplicates the formula recommended by Mueller and Hinton (1941) for the primary isolation of Neisseria species. Currently its widely used for performing antibiotic susceptibility tests using the tube dilution method. Media is simple and composed of meat infusion form (equivalent of beef infusion form), Casamino acids and starch. Infusion from Meat and Casamino acids provides nitrogen vitamins, amino acids, minerals, carbon and other nutrients to support the growth of microorganisms. While starch absorb any toxic metabolites produced during microbial growth and while autoclaving undergoes hydrolysis and liberate small amount of dextrose, which act as source of energy.

Use: Recommended for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of rapidly growing aerobic and facultative anaerobic microbes by the tube dilution method.
