Growth of Bacteraides fragilis group in agar and broth media

Abstract: The rate of bacterial growth of four Bacteroides fragilis group organisms was determined in agar and broth media. Exponential bacterial growth occurred in agar media within 4 to 8 h, while such growth was delayed in broth media and occurred within 12-24 h after inoculation. This phenomenon may explain why antimicrobials which manifest an 'inoculum effect' may show increased resistance to antimicrobials when tested in agar media.

“…As mentioned above, using the SGE method, we found that an inoculum prepared from a broth culture in logarithmic phase yields consistently lower MIC values than an inoculum prepared by suspending colonies (presumably in stationary phase) to the proper density (116). Brook (21) found that differences in growth occurred depending on the medium on which the organisms were inoculated: exponential growth occurred in agar media within 4 to 8 h, while such growth was delayed in broth media and occurred within 12 to 24 h after inoculation. Some antimicrobial agents exhibit strong inoculum effects (i.e., greatly reduced activity with increased inocula) (119).…”
