Mueller-Hinton agar antimicrobial susceptibility culture medium IVD

Mueller-Hinton agar is a laboratory culture medium used to test how susceptible bacteria are to antibiotics. Clinicians rely on these tests to guide treatment decisions by identifying which antimicrobials will effectively inhibit or kill specific bacterial infections in patients.

These media are classified as in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices and are regulated based on their intended use. They are typically supplied as dehydrated powders or ready-to-use plates, requiring preparation or direct use in microbiology labs to ensure accurate antimicrobial susceptibility results.
