8 Manual Mycobacteria Testing Manual growth & detection, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of mycobacteria Middlebrook and Cohn 7H10 Agar Slants Middlebrook and Cohn 7H10 Agar is a culture medium for the cultivation of mycobacteria., especially mycobacteria other than tuberculosis (MOTT). Tube size A. Middlebrook and Cohn 7H10 Agar Slants Middlebrook and Cohn 7H10 Agar is a culture medium for the cultivation of mycobacteria. Tube size C. Middlebrook 7H10 Agar with OADC Middlebrook 7H10 Agar contains a variety of inorganic salts which provide substances essential for the growth of mycobacteria.

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. Catalase destroys toxic peroxides that may be present in the medium. The primary effect of albumin is that of protection of the tubercle bacilli against toxic agents, therefore enhancing their recovery by primary isolation. Partial inhibition of bacteria is achieved by the presence of the malachite green dye.

Sufficient for 50 tests Taxo TB Niacin Test Strips Taxo TB Niacin Test Strips assist in the detection of mycobacteria by detecting niacin in culture medium. All mycobacteria produce nicotinic acid, or niacin, which accumulates in culture medium and can be detected using these strips. When Taxo TB Niacin Test Strips turn yellow, the culture is mycobacteria positive and when no color appears, the culture is negative. Sufficient for 25 tests Taxo TB Niacin Test Control Taxo TB Niacin Test Controls are impregnated with nicotinamide and give a positive reaction when tested with a TB Niacin Test Strip. Sufficient for 50 tests Taxo Nitrite Test Strips Taxo Nitrite Test Strips are used for differentiation of microorganisms (particularly mycobacteria) based on the reduction of nitrates to nitrites. The nitrate reduction test separates slow growing mycobacteria that are nitrate-positive (e.g., M. tuberculosis, M. kansasii and M. fortuitum) from rapid growers that are negative or only weakly positive (e.g., M. bovis, M. avium complex and M. intracellulare). The presence of the enzyme nitrate reductase is detected by appearance of a blue-colored end product on the strip, indicating a positive reaction. Sufficient for 25 tests BD Diagnostics Diagnostic Systems Catalog 2005/2006
