Description
- Selective agents incorporated into the medium are glycine and lithium chloride, which inhibit the growth of most other microorganisms
- Potassium tellurite is an inhibitory agent and is easily reduced by coagulase-positive staphylococci, leaving a black precipitate in the colony
- The Association of Analytical Chemists (AOAC) has recommended the medium for detection of S. aureus in foods
- The pH indicator phenol red enables the detection of mannitol fermentation, a differentiating characteristic of most strains of Staphylococcus aureus
