Thermo Scientific™ Mannitol Salt Agar
Description
Selectively and differentially isolate and identify staphylococci from clinical and non-clinical samples using Mannitol Salt Agar.
Selectively and differentially isolate and identify staphylococci from clinical and non-clinical samples using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Mannitol Salt Agar. This phenol red mannitol agar contains 7.5% sodium chloride as a selective agent as reported by Koch in 19421. Most strains of coagulase-positive staphylococci grow on this agar, producing yellow zones because of mannitol fermentation whereas coagulase-negative staphylococci strains produce small colonies with no color change in the surrounding medium.
Staphylococci are widespread in nature, although they are mainly found on the skin, skin glands and mucous membranes of mammals and birds. The coagulase-positive species i.e., Staphylococcus aureus is well documented as a human opportunistic p
