Baird Parker Agar Base 100G

This medium was developed by Baird-Parker from the Tellurite - glycine formulation of Zebovitz et al for isolation of Staphylococcus aureus from foods. This medium was found to be less inhibitory to Staphylococcus aureus than other media, at the same time being more selective. Subsequently it was officially adapted by the AOAC and is also recommended in USP for use in Microbial limit test.
