BRAIN HEART INFUSION BROTH

BHI Medium is used as a blood culturing system for cultivating a wide variety of microorganisms since it is a highly nutritive medium. This culture medium complies with the specifications given by EN ISO 6888 and APHA. BHI Broth is a modification of the original formulation of Rosenow, where he added pieces of brain tissues to dextrose broth. It is an enriched non-selective broth medium that is useful in the cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms. This medium will also support the growth of aerobic microorganisms from a variety of clinical and non-clinical specimens. For selective isolation of fungi, addition of gentamicin and/or chloramphenicol is recommended.
