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."
- Visually examine representative plates to assure that any existing physical defects will not interfere with use.
- Determine the pH potentiometrically at room temperature for adherence to the specification of 7.4 ± 0.2.
