Description
Formulation
Common Applications
Storage

Brain Heart Infusion Broth with Yeast Extract and L‑Cysteine is a nutrient-rich liquid medium for the cultivation of fastidious bacteria, including streptococci, pneumococci, and many anaerobes. The brain–heart infusion base supplies peptides and carbohydrates; yeast extract contributes B‑vitamins and additional growth factors; L‑cysteine functions as a reducing agent to help maintain a low redox potential suitable for anaerobic growth.

This formulation is used for enrichment, recovery, and maintenance of demanding organisms such as Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Neisseria spp., Listeria spp., and anaerobes including Clostridium spp., in clinical, food, and environmental microbiology workflows.

  • 3.700% Brain Heart Infusion Broth
  • 0.050% Yeast Extract
  • 0.005% L-Cysteine
  • Enrichment of Fastidious Bacteria: Supports robust growth of demanding organisms, aided by 3.700% Brain Heart Infusion, 0.050% Yeast Extract, and 0.005% L-Cysteine.

  • Anaerobic Cultivation: L-Cysteine lowers redox potential for cultivating obligate anaerobes such as Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, and Fusobacterium spp.

  • Microaerophilic and Capnophilic Growth: Enhances recovery of organisms like Streptococcus spp., Actinomyces spp., and Haemophilus spp. in enriched conditions.

  • Recovery of Injured/Stressed Cells: Resuscitation of sublethally damaged bacteria from clinical, environmental, or food samples.

  • Clinical Specimen Processing: Pre-enrichment and subculture medium for pathogens including Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus.

  • Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing: Broth microdilution or growth controls for fastidious and anaerobic organisms.

  • Blood Culture Workflows: Supplemental growth medium for subculturing positive blood cultures, including fastidious isolates.

  • Sterility and Bioburden Testing: General-purpose sterility testing in pharma, biotech, and medical device QC.

  • Food and Environmental Microbiology: Enrichment of target bacteria (e.g., Listeria spp., Enterococcus spp.) from complex matrices.

  • Inoculum Preparation: Generation of high-density, healthy cultures for downstream biochemical and molecular assays.
