Selective Enrichment Medium for Cultivation of Mycobacterium spp., Including Drug-Resistant Strains
Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Middlebrook 7H11 Agar is a refined, dehydrated culture medium formulated for the isolation and luxuriant cultivation of Mycobacterium species, including drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This selective medium enhances the performance of traditional 7H10 agar by incorporating casein hydrolysate, biotin, glycerol, and OADC enrichment, enabling the recovery of damaged or fastidious strains and supporting high-performance diagnostic microbiology.
Key Features
- Enhanced Growth: Supports fastidious and drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- Selective for Mycobacteria: Contains malachite green dye to inhibit non-mycobacterial organisms
- Rich Nutrient Profile: Enriched with inorganic salts, casein hydrolysate, biotin, and glycerol
- Dehydrated Format: Supplied as 500 g powder for flexible laboratory media preparation
- OADC Supplement Compatible: Designed to be reconstituted with OADC enrichment for optimal performance
- Used in Qualitative Procedures: Ideal for mycobacteriological culture from clinical and research samples
Applications
- Clinical Microbiology: Isolation of M. tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)
- Public Health Laboratories: TB surveillance and drug resistance detection
- Pharmaceutical Microbiology: Contamination screening and mycobacterial recovery
- Veterinary and Environmental Labs: Detection of mycobacteria in environmental or animal sources
- Research: Cultivation of Mycobacterium spp. in basic and applied microbiological studies
