Middlebrook and Cohn 7H10 Agar, when supplemented with Middlebrook OADC Enrichment, is used in qualitative procedures for the isolation and cultivation of mycobacteria.

  • Inorganic salts provides essential growth substances
  • Sodium citrate holds certain inorganic cations in solution
  • Glycerol provides carbon and energy
  • Malachite green dye partially inhibits bacterial contaminants

Supplementation of the agar base is required in order to obtain mycobacterial growth. In the enriched medium, sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium; oleic acid, as well as other long chain fatty acids, can be utilized by tubercle bacilli and plays an important role in the metabolism of mycobacteria; the primary effect of albumin is that of protection of the tubercle bacilli against toxic agents and, therefore, it enhances their recovery on primary isolation; dextrose is an energy source; and catalase destroys toxic peroxides that may be present in the medium.
