With the aid of the culture technique they could produce therapeutic sera and prophylactic vaccines. Standard Infusion Agar supports luxuriant growth of a variety of bacteria. This medium is thus recommended for large-scale cultivation of bacteria for the purpose of vaccine and toxin production. Standard Infusion Agar has composition similar to Beef Peptone B Agar.
