BM0110 Cooked Meat with Brain Heart Infusion Broth Overlay is suitable for recovery, isolation, and storage of the most fastidious anaerobes, such as Clostridium species as well as many aerobes. Cooked Meat Medium prepared from heart tissue is a well-established medium for the cultivation of anaerobic and aerobic organisms. Cooked Meat with Brain Heart Infusion Broth Overlay has been shown to initiate bacterial growth from very small innocua and to maintain the viability of cultures over long periods of time; it is especially useful in culturing from blood samples. Mixed cultures of bacteria survive without displacing the slower growing organisms. The products of growth do not rapidly destroy the inoculated organisms and therefore it is an excellent medium for the storage of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
