Oxoid™ Mueller Hinton Agar (500g) is a standardised, non-selective medium widely used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, particularly the disc diffusion method as recommended by CLSI and EUCAST guidelines. Its consistent formulation and low levels of inhibitors make it ideal for accurate and reproducible results when testing the effectiveness of antibiotics against a broad range of bacterial pathogens.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing using the disc diffusion method; also supports general cultivation of non-fastidious organisms
• Composition: Contains beef infusion, casein hydrolysate, and starch to support the growth of a wide variety of bacteria while minimising interference with antibiotics
• Preparation: Suspend 38g of the dehydrated medium in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
• Yield: Approximately 13 litres of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Complies with CLSI and EUCAST recommendations for antibiotic susceptibility testing
