The major use of Mueller-Hinton Agar is for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST). It has become the standard medium for the Kirby-Bauer method5, 6 and can be used in internationally recognized standard procedures.
The inclusion of starch in the medium ensures that toxic factors produced during microbial growth will be absorbed, and its presence is often essential to establish growth from very small inocula.
Antibiotic susceptibility tests are performed in accordance with and meet the acceptance limits of the current ISO/TS 16782 using the following microorganisms:
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC®25923 WDCM00034
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC®29213 WDCM00131
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC®43300 WDCM00211
Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 12493 WDCM00212
Escherichia coli ATCC®25922 WDCM00013
