Introduction
Historically, although various media have been recommended for antimicrobial sensitivity tests, MH broth (MHB) was selected as the broth micro-dilution
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) reference method (ISO 20776-1) is the medium, and MH agar (MHA) is widely used for rapid growth of cells.
The paper disc diffusion test of bacteria.
MH medium can provide satisfactory growth conditions for most non-fastidious pathogens, with acceptable batch-to-batch reproducibility and low content
Inhibitors of sulfa, trimethoprim and tetracycline, and a large number of antimicrobial agent sensitivity tests have accumulated from this medium for decades

This document aims to establish a standard description and protocol, based on which dehydrated MH agar (dMHA) and dehydrated MH broth (dMHB) are prepared
The manufacturer can determine its acceptable performance characteristics.
The test results must meet the quality control limit range specified for each combination of antimicrobial agents and quality control strains. Each production batch should at least deal with this
Combinations of these antibacterial agents and quality control strains were tested.

1 Scope
This document gives the standard description and performance standards of the physical properties of dehydrated MH broth (dMHB) and dehydrated MH agar (dMHA).
In this way, manufacturers can evaluate the performance characteristics of their dMHB and dMHA production batches. Batches of broth or agar can then be used by all users
(Including the manufacturer of in vitro susceptibility testing equipment) as a medium for conducting antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
This document does not describe additives (such as blood or blood products) that are added to the culture medium to support the growth of fastidious bacteria (CLSI method
Method)[3][4][5][6]. These additives are added as a final product when the dehydrated medium is prepared as a liquid, which is beyond the scope of this document. Although
dMHA can be used for the agar dilution method[4][6] or gradient diffusion method to determine MIC. This document only contains in accordance with the American Association for Clinical and Laboratory Standards
(CLSI) [5] and European Committee for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) [3] performance test using the paper diffusion method.
