INTENDED USE

BacterTube™ BHI with Gentamycin is a non-selective enrichment medium that supports the growth of all bacteria, including Haemophilus influenzae. It is designed to promote the growth of a wide range of microorganisms, without inhibiting any specific bacterial species.

PRINCIPLES

The medium is enriched with nutrients that facilitate the growth of a variety of microorganisms, particularly those that require specific growth factors. The addition of Gentamicin helps inhibit the growth of certain unwanted bacteria, ensuring a more selective culture environment for the target organisms.

Directly inoculate the specimen or sample into the medium.
Incubate at 35 – 37°C for 4 – 8 hours.
Perform subculturing on specialized agar plates containing selective media and incubate under appropriate conditions
