Quantity: 500 g
Unit Size: Each
Mannitol Salt Agar is a selective and differential solid media for isolating staphylococci by their ability to ferment mannitol.
• Conforms to USP and EP: Formulated in conformance with harmonizedUnited States Pharmacopeia(USP)/European Pharmacopeia(EP) guidelines^2,,3.
• Easy to differentiate: Differentiates between coagulase-positive and coagulase-negative staphylococci on the basis of mannitol fermentation
• Selective: Sodium chloride at a concentration of 7.5% inhibits many bacteria other than staphylococci.This medium contains casein and meat peptones that supply nitrogen, amino acids, and peptides necessary for bacterial growth. Sodium chloride in the concentration of 7.5% is a selective agent that inhibits many bacteria other than staphylococci. Phenol red is the pH indicator which causes a color change in the medium from red-orange to yellow when acid is produced. Colonies of staphylococci that ferment mannitol will be surrounded by a yellow zone, while those that do not ferment mannitol will have no color change (red).Not all products are available for sale in all territories.
