Presumptively detect, isolate and enumerate pathogenic staphylococci in milk, food, fish and other specimens while most other bacteria are inhibited, except a few halophilic species, with Thermo Scientific™ Mannitol Salt Agar. Look for colonies surrounded by bright yellow zones to recognize coagulase-positive staphylococci; non-pathogenic staphylococci produce colonies with reddish purple zones.
