Coagulase Mannitol Agar Base is a high-quality culture medium formulated for the selective isolation and differentiation of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus species. This medium is particularly effective in identifying Staphylococcus aureus, a significant pathogen in clinical settings, food safety, and environmental monitoring.

The agar base contains mannitol and other essential nutrients that facilitate the growth of Staphylococcus species. The presence of mannitol allows for the differentiation between coagulase-positive and coagulase-negative strains based on their ability to ferment mannitol. Coagulase-positive strains such as Staphylococcus aureus will typically produce yellow colonies due to acid production from mannitol fermentation, while other strains remain colorless.

This medium is an essential tool in microbiological laboratories, providing reliable results for the identification and analysis of Staphylococcus species. Its use in clinical diagnostics ensures accurate detection of pathogenic strains, while in food and environmental testing, it helps monitor contamination and ensure safety standards.

Coagulase Mannitol Agar Base is supplied in a convenient, ready-to-use format, ensuring ease of preparation and consistency in laboratory procedures. This product is crucial for laboratories requiring precise and dependable bacterial isolation and differentiation.
