Description

Cultivate fastidious organisms present in small numbers from clinical specimens with Fastidious Broth.

Cultivate fastidious organisms present in small numbers from clinical specimens with Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Fastidious Broth.

In 1994 Cartwright et al. first described the use of Fastidious Broth to enrich specimens that may contain small numbers of fastidious organisms, prior to culture on plated media1. Fastidious Broth support the growth of a variety of bacteria e.g., Corynebacterium jeikeium, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoea and Streptococcus pneumoniae. For many organisms this broth reduces the time of incubation and the volume of inoculum required for growth to be detectable.

Fastidious Broth is a liquid medium recommended for cultivation of fastidious organism. Fastidious Broth contains casein and meat peptones that supply amino acids, peptides and nitrogenous substances essential for growth. Yeast extract supplies essential B-complex vitamins that stimulate growth of organisms. Sodium chloride provides essential electrolytes which maintain osmotic equilibrium.

  • Ready-to-use: Convenience of prepared media.
  • Easy-to-use: Inoculate the broth directly with specimen immediately once it is received in the laboratory and incubate at 35-37º C for up to 7 days.

Dextrose is a carbohydrate source that provides energy. L-cysteine improves recovery of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms from blood. Tris is a buffer. Magnesium and iron salts improve the growth of aerobes and anaerobes. NAD and hemin help in growth of certain fastidious organism that include H. influenzae. Polysorbate 80 is the nutritional source of essential fatty acids. Agarose is added to hinder diffusion of oxygen. Pyridoxal is essential for the growth of many fastidious organisms.
