AC broth is suitable for use in the detection of obligately aerobic contaminants in biologicals and other products. AC broth is also useful in the isolation and cultivation of many common pathogenic and saprophytic aerobes. The medium can be used to test the sterility of biologicals and solutions that do not contain mercurial preservatives.

Il s'agit d'un milieu de culture microbiologique nutritif liquide (un bouillon nutritif) d'utilisation générale (non sélectif), c.-à-d. qui sert à cultiver une large gamme de micro-organismes (bactéries aérobies, anaérobies ou micro-aérophiles). Il est empirique (on ne connaît pas sa composition avec précision puisqu'il n'est pas purement synthétique). Celui qui est fabriqué par les laboratoires Sigma-Aldrich contient des peptones, des extraits de bœuf et de malt, ainsi que du dextrose, de l'acide ascorbique. Tous ces ingrédients offrent un milieu favorable à la croissance rapide des diverses bactéries. Ce milieu sert notamment à vérifier la stérilisation de solutions et de matériaux ne contenant aucun agent conservateur (antimicrobien) à base de mercure. 1, record 1, French, - bouillon%20toutes%20cultures

Un «milieu» de culture bactérienne peut être solide (appelé «gélose») ou liquide (appelé «bouillon»). Lorsque le milieu en question est à base d'agar, donc solide, il serait préférable d'indiquer «gélose». On pourrait alors parler de «gélose toutes cultures». Dans le cas du milieu de culture liquide (bouillon) équivalent (milieu sans agar), on pourrait parler de «bouillon toutes cultures». 1, record 1, French, - bouillon%20toutes%20cultures

Il convient de rappeler qu'il n'existe pas de milieu de culture universel, c'est-à-dire un milieu qui permet la croissance de toutes les bactéries. Les milieux d'usage général favorisent la croissance de bactéries qui n'ont pas d'exigence particulière. 1, record 1, French, - bouillon%20toutes%20cultures
