Baird-Parker Agar Base, 500g, Oxoid


Isolate and enumerate Staphylococcus aureus with selective and sensitive Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Baird-Parker Agar Base (Dehydrated). Baird Parker Agar Base contains carefully balanced selective inhibitory agents, glycine, lithium, and tellurite, to suppress the growth of most of the bacteria present in foods without inhibiting coagulase-positive staphylococci. The presence of egg yolk emulsion and sodium pyruvate aid the recovery of damaged cells for presumptive identification of Staphylococcus aureus in food specimens.

Product Specifications

Baird-Parker Agar Base is widely recommended by national and international bodies for the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus.

  • Easy interpretation of test results as Staphylococcus aureus forms grey-black shiny colonies with surrounding clear zones.
  • Greater recovery of damaged staphylococci than on other media.

Baird-Parker developed this medium from the tellurite-glycine formulation of Zebovitz et al. and improved its reliability in isolating Staphylococcus aureus from foods. Baird-Parker added sodium pyruvate, to protect damaged cells and aid their recovery
