A selective medium for the isolation of pathogenic Staphylococci.
Ideal for the isolation and identification of Staphylococcus aureus, this Mannitol Salt Agar provides a highly selective environment for the growth of bacteria. With its high salt concentration, it inhibits the growth of most other bacteria, favouring the growth of gram-positive species. The presence of mannitol and a pH indicator in the agar helps distinguish different bacterial species based on their ability to ferment mannitol. Thus, it serves as a reliable tool for microbiological analysis and research.
- High salt concentration for selective growth of gram-positive bacteria
- Contains mannitol and a pH indicator for differentiation of bacterial species
- Ideal for isolating and identifying Staphylococcus aureus.
