Mueller Hinton Agar Chocolate is used for the isolation and cultivation of fastidious bacteria from clinical specimens. It may also be used for the susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Mueller Hinton Agar Chocolate is an enriched, non-selective medium on which fastidious and non-fastidious bacteria, including normal flora, will grow. Therefore, it is recommended to inoculate specimens also onto appropriate selective media. The term “fastidious bacteria” relates to bacteria that do not grow or do not grow well on normally used primary isolation media containing sheep blood.
