Brain Heart Infusion Broth

Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) Broth is a highly nutritive medium used for the cultivation of a wide variety of microorganisms, including fastidious and non-fastidious bacteria.

The formulation is rich and well-buffered, enabling the growth of a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Proteose peptone and brain heart infusion solids provide essential nutrients, including carbon, nitrogen, amino acids, vitamins, and growth factors. Dextrose (glucose) serves as an energy source, while disodium phosphate maintains buffering capacity. Sodium chloride helps maintain osmotic balance within the medium.
