Description
- Mueller Hinton agar supplemented with 2% glucose and 0.5 μg/mL methylene blue dye is the agar medium recommended by CLSI for disk diffusion testing of select Candida spp.
- Store at 10°C-25°C away from light, and read the results at 24 hours, except for voriconazole, which should be read at 48 hours
- Acid hydrolysate of casein and beef extract supply amino acids, nitrogen, minerals, vitamins, carbon and other nutrients which support the growth of microorganisms
- Starch acts as a protective colloid against toxic molecules which can be present in the medium
- Hydrolysis of starch during autoclaving supplies a little amount of glucose, which is a source of energy
- Glucose serves as an energy source for fungal cultures while methylene blue enhances zone edge definition
- Agar is the solidifying agent
