Summary and Explanation

Tryptic (Trypticase) Soy Broth (TSB) is a nutritious medium that will support the growth of a wide variety of microorganisms,including common aerobic, facultative and anaerobic bacteria and fungi.Because of its capacity for growth promotion, this formulation is included in the USP as a sterility test medium and for use in performing microbial limit testing. TSB was chosen by the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service for detecting viable bacteria in live vaccines. It is used in the coliphage detection procedure, a methodology in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. TSB is recommended for testing bacterial contaminants in cosmetics and complies with established standards in the food industry. TSB is also recommended, because of growth promotion, for use as the inoculum broth for disc diffusion and agar dilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing as standardized by the National Committeee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS).
