broth microdilution method

Objective. To develop a technology for producing Russia-made Mueller-Hinton broth and to compare its quality in terms of physicochemical and microbiological parameters with a foreign analog in trials using reference microbial strains sharing common and complex nutritional requirements. Materials and Methods. The work investigated casein acid hydrolysates and Mueller-Hinton broths (MHBs) produced by the Federal Budgetary Institution of Science SRCAMB (MHB–Obolensk) and by BD BBL (MHB–BD) through testing 7 test strains of E.
