STAPHYLOCOCCUS AGAR NO. 110 W/ AZIDE

Staphylococcus Agar No. 110 is formulated as described by Chapman for selective isolation and enumeration of Staphylococci from clinical as well as nonclinical specimens. Staphylococcus Agar No. 110 with azide is used for determination of coagulase positive Staphylococci in meat pies even in the presence of large number of Bacillus species. This medium is recommended by APHA. The addition of blood in the medium enables to study haemolytic reaction and with egg yolk enables to study lecithinase production by Staphylococcus aureus. This medium is selective due to high salt concentration and differential on the basis of ability of organism to ferment mannitol, produce pigment and gelatin liquefaction.
