  1. Reconstitute Modified Selective Enrichment with one ml of Sterile distilled water.
  2. Transfer reconstituted Modified Selective Enrichment aseptically to the Middlebrook 7H9 broth base. This is now ready to use as Modified Middlebrook 7H9 broth w/indicator Medium.

Test Protocol

  1. Inoculate aseptically 50 -300 µl of decontaminated & concentrated specimen in the Modified Middlebrook 7H9 Broth w/Indicator, using calibrated device (Inoculum should be inversely proportional to the initial M.T.B.Count in the specimen). Mix well.
  2. Incubate at 35-37°C observe for the growth every third day.

Principle And Interpretation

Modified Middlebrook 7H9 Broth w/ Indicator is the modification of Middlebrook 7H9 broth developed by Middlebrook etal (1). Growth promoting factor incorporated in the medium, accelerates growth and presence of biological indicatorit possible to visualize growth distinctly as early as 6 days and on an average of 10-14 days in most of the case. Antibiotic cocktail (PACT) present in the system eliminates/ retards growth of contaminating flora. This medium contains many inorganic salts which support the growth of Mycobacteria Sodium citrate becomes citric acid in the medium which retains certain inorganic cations in the solution. This broth base is supplemented for the growth of Mycobacteria. Enrichment Supplement contains bovine albumin, dextrose, catalase and sodium chloride. Some free fatty acids are toxic to Mycobacteria but albumin binds to those fatty acids and prevent toxic action on Mycobacteria. Toxic peroxides present in the medium are destroyed by catalase. Dextrose supplies energy while sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Glycerol enhances the growth
