Usages:
For isolation and enumeration of coagulase-positive staphylococci in foodstuffs.
Principle:
Tryptone, beef extract powder and yeast extract powder provides carbon and nitrogen sources, vitamins and growth factors; sodium pyruvate and glycine to stimulate the growth of Staphylococcus aureus; lithium chloride and potassium tellurite inhibit the non-staphylococcal microorganisms; containing lecithinase staphylococcal colonies produce degradation yolk make a transparent circle, while the role of the lipase produced an opaque precipitate ring; coagulase-positive staphylococci can restore potassium tellurite and produce black colonies; agar is a medium coagulant.
