Use Sensititre CAMHBT for rapid growing mycobacteria,
Nocardia and other aerobic Actinomycetes or Mueller Hinton

5. A periodic check of the colony count of the positive control

to assure adequate sealing. Avoid creases as these can lead Sensititre cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth with TES buffer 7. Incubate rapid growing mycobacteria aerobically at 300C in
a non-CO2 incubator for 72 hours. Check for growth. If poor, Sensititre cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth with OADC reincubate for up to a further 48 hours. Incubate Nocardia and other aerobic Actinomycetes at 350C in a non-CO2 incubator Sensititre doseheads (for use with AutoInoculator) [E3010] Plates can be stacked up to three high.

Same procedure as above except transfer 50µL of the organism suspension into 10mL of Sensititre Mueller-Hinton broth with 5% v/v OADC growth supplement. Invert the tube 8- Incubate at 350C in a non-CO2 incubator and read after 7 days. If growth is good in the positive control , read results. SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION
Otherwise re-incubate for up to 14 days. Prolonged incubation Specimens should be collected, transported, stored and then may require taking steps to prevent loss of well contents plated on to primary isolation medium to give isolated colonies through evaporation. Place the plates in a plastic container with the top ajar to facilitate gas exchange. READING TEST RESULTS
Results can be read using the Sensititre manual viewer or the Tentative Quality Control Ranges for mycobacteria QC SensiTouch. See Sensitouch User Manual. It is not necessary to remove the adhesive seal. Place the plate with the label facing the user. Growth appears as turbidity or as a deposit of cells at the bottom of a well. The MIC is recorded as the lowest concentration of antimicrobic that inhibits visible growth. Please refer to CLSI (NCCLS) M24-A (1) for guidance on reading endpoints. Reading faint growth on SensiTouch can be improved by use of bright indirect lighting against a The positive growth control wells should be read first. If any Mycobacteria end points can be difficult to interpret. CLSI (NCCLS) M24-A (1) provides reading guidelines and illustrations of various growth patterns. Negative wells can show a slight precipitate related to the inoculum. Reading QC strains with known MICs should be used for training Growth can range from a few colonies with no turbidity to heavy growth comparable to positive growth control. The MIC is the lowest concentration that completely inhibits growth except for sulphonamides, where the MIC is read as the lowest concentration that inhibits 80% growth compared to the a.
