Principle:

Baird Parker Agar was developed by Baird Parker (1962), composed of tryptone, meat extract (equivalent to beef extract), glycine, yeast extract, sodium pyruvate, lithium chloride and agar. Tryptone, meat extract and yeast extract provide nitrogen, carbon, sulphur and vitamins. Glycine and sodium pyruvate protect injured cells and helps to recovery them and stimulates the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Lithium chloride and potassium tellurite acts as inhibitor agent for contaminating microflora. The tellurite additive is toxic to egg

yolk-clearing strains other than S. aureus and imparts a black color to the colonies.

Use: Recommended for the isolation, enrichment and enumeration of coagulase positive staphylococci from food and clinical samples.
