BD BBL™ Mannitol Salt Agar Dehydrated
Each lot of BBL prepared plated media is manufactured from pretested components, and the final product is quarantined during quality control testing. The composition of a particular culture medium formulation determines the classification of the medium as general-purpose, enriched, selective or differential or a combination of these types. A general-purpose medium is one that supports the growth of a wide variety of microorganism types and lacks inhibitory properties. Such a medium may be either nonenriched or enriched with an additive, usually animal blood, in order to cultivate highly fastidious microbial species. Mannitol Salt Agar is used for the selective isolation and enumeration of staphylococci from clinical and nonclinical materials.
