Tryptic Soy Broth is a general purpose liquid enrichment medium used in qualitative procedures for the sterility test and for the enrichment and cultivation of aerobic and facultatively anaerobic microorganisms that are not excessively fastidious.{18} In clinical microbiology, it may be used for the suspension, enrichment and cultivation of strains isolated on other media. In clinical microbiology, the medium is used in a variety of procedures, e.g., for the preparation of the inoculum and for suspending strains for Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion susceptibility testing and for the microbiological test procedure of culture media. Enzymatic digests of casein and soybean provide amino acids and other complex nitrogenous substances. Glucose (=dextrose) is an energy source. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium. Dibasic potassium phosphate acts as a buffer to control pH. Colonies appear clear to white colonies; some may produce pigment.
