Isolate and cultivate mycoplasmas from clinical specimens with this medium.

Isolate and cultivate mycoplasmas from clinical specimens with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Mycoplasma Broth Base (Dehydrated) when supplemented with Supplement- G Selective Supplement SR0059. Mycoplasma Broth Base complements Mycoplasma Agar Base CM0401.

Mycoplasma are a mollicute genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall around their cell membranes. This characteristic makes them naturally resistant to many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic. They are mainly parasites on the surface of human and animal epithelium cells.

Mycoplasma Broth Base is formulated as a basal medium to be enriched with any satisfactory supplementary factors used for the growth of mycoplasmas.

Most strains of mycoplasmas are encouraged by growth in a biphasic medium in which a layer of Mycoplasma Broth Base covers a basal layer of Mycoplasma Agar Base CM0401.

The majority of mycoplasma require media enriched with serum for good growth. Also antibacterial agents are necessary to prevent overgrowth of the slow-growing mycoplasmas by contaminating organisms.

Mycoplasma Supplement-G SR0059 is a general supplement that when added to Mycoplasma Broth Base provides the necessary factors for growth and prevents overgrowth of slow-growing contaminating organisms.
