Mueller and Hinton developed Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) in 1941 for the isolation of  pathogenic Neisseria species. Nowadays, it is more commonly used for the routine susceptibility testing of non-fastidious microorganism by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion technique.

Composition of MHA :

IngredientsIn Gram/Litre
Beef Extract2.00 gm
Acid Hydrolysate of Casein17.50 gm
Starch1.50 gm
Agar17.00 gm
Distilled Water1000 ml

Uses of MHA:

  • The major use of Mueller Hinton Agar is for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. It has become the standard medium for the Bauer Kirby method and its performance is specified by the NCCLS.
  • It can be used to cultivate Neisseria
  • It is specified in FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual for food testing, and procedures commonly performed on aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria.
