Middlebrook 7H11 Agar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Middlebrook 7H11 agar is identical to Middlebrook 7H10 agar, with an addition of pancreatic digest of casein to facilitate the growth of fastidious cultures of M. tuberculosis.[1]

Mycobactin J may also be added to Middlebrook 7H11 agar to allow the recovery of M. genavense.[2]
