Brain heart infusion (BHI)
Evidence (3)
Here, we reconstituted a skin model using keratin as a base (instead of callus) and compared it with brain heart infusion (BHI) medium.
Effects of cosmetic ingredients on growth and virulence factor expression in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>: a comparison between culture medium and <i>in vitro</i> skin model medium — Crossref, 2024Upon the addition of cosmetic ingredients to BHI or skin model medium, the sensitivity of S. aureus to these cosmetic ingredients differed between the two media.
Effects of cosmetic ingredients on growth and virulence factor expression in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>: a comparison between culture medium and <i>in vitro</i> skin model medium — Crossref, 2024Notably, after adding the two tested cosmetic ingredients, the expression level of staphylococcal enterotoxin A in S. aureus reduced significantly in skin model medium compared with that in the BHI medium.

Todd-Hewitt broth
Evidence (1)
Most of the phages can be propagated in fluid media as well as on agar, and for some glucose-peptone-water is a better medium than nutrient or Todd-Hewitt broth.
