Product Description & Summary
BRU BROTH is an enriched non-selective broth media. The basal media consists of casein and peptones to facilitate the growth of a wide variety of microorganisms. Yeast extract is provided as a source of trace vitamins and micronutrients. A small volume of dextrose is added as a carbohydrate source, to prevent acid build up. This media is supplemented with vitamin K1 and hemin to facilitate the recovery and growth of Prevotella melaninogenica. This media is prepared, stored, and dispensed under oxygen-free conditions to prevent the formation of oxidized products prior to use.
Interpretation of Results & Limitations
This media should support good growth of obligate anaerobes, aerobes, and microaerophilic microorganisms isolated from clinical specimens.
BRU BROTH will not provide complete information for identification of bacterial isolates. Additional test procedures and media are required for complete identification. In some cases, this media may not grow every anaerobic strain. Consult reference materials for additional information.
