BS PD ISO/TS 16782:2016 provides a standard description of the physical properties of dehydratedMueller-Hinton broth (dMHB) and Mueller-Hinton agar (dMHA) and performance criteria by whichmanufacturers can assess the performance characteristics of their production lots of dMHA and dMHB.Production lots of broth or agar can then be utilized by all users, including in vitro susceptibility testingdevice manufacturers, as the test medium for performance of antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

This Technical Specification does not address supplements (e.g. blood or blood products) that areadded to the medium to support growth of fastidious bacteria[3][4][5][6]. Those additives are providedafter the dehydrated medium is prepared in its liquid state as a final product and fall outside of thescope of this Technical Specification. Although dMHA can be used for determination of MICs using theagar dilution method[4][6] or the gradient diffusion method, this Technical Specification only includesperformance testing of dMHA using disc diffusion methodology as described by the Clinical andLaboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)[5] and European Committee on Antimicrobial SusceptibilityTesting (EUCAST)[3].
