Features & Benefits:

  • Mannitol Salt Agar is used for the selective isolation and enumeration of staphylococci from clinical and nonclinical materials.
  • Mannitol Salt Agar is a nutritive medium due to its content of peptones and beef extract, which supply essential growth factors, such as nitrogen, carbon, sulfur and trace nutrients.
  • The 7.5% concentration of sodium chloride results in the partial or complete inhibition of bacterial organisms other than staphylococci.
  • Mannitol fermentation, as indicated by a change in the phenol red indicator, aids in the differentiation of staphylococcal species.
  • Additional Quality Control:
    • Examine plates as described under "Product Deterioration."
