Features
- Todd Hewitt Broth is a general-purpose medium, which primarily is used for the cultivation of beta-hemolytic streptococci, especially for serological studies
- Todd Hewitt Broth with Gentamicin and Nalidixic Acid is used for the selective enrichment of group B streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae), especially from genital specimens
- Selectivity for group B streptococci is obtained by the inclusion of gentamicin and nalidixic acid in the medium
- Selective enrichment broths include the advantages of both enrichment and selection by providing conditions conducive to the growth of group B streptococci while inhibiting the growth of contaminants
