OXOID
Oxoid™ Baird-Parker Agar (5kg) is a selective and differential medium used for the isolation and enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus from food, environmental, and clinical samples. The medium is enriched with egg yolk emulsion and contains potassium tellurite, which selectively inhibits most other microorganisms while promoting the growth of S. aureus. S. aureus typically forms black colonies, often with a clear zone due to lecithinase activity, making it easily identifiable. This agar is ideal for use in food safety testing and microbiological research.
