The agar works by utilizing mannitol as the primary carbohydrate source. Organisms that ferment mannitol produce acid, which turns the phenol red indicator yellow. This color change helps in distinguishing between different bacterial species, aiding in precise identification. The medium also contains sodium chloride to inhibit the growth of most gram-negative bacteria, ensuring selective isolation of staphylococci.
For best results, follow standard microbiological procedures when preparing and using this agar.
