Description
Tellurite Glycine Agar Base is a special culture medium used in microbiology labs to detect coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus (a common foodborne pathogen) from samples like food, skin, mucous membranes, soil, and air.
- Detects harmful bacteria: Specifically designed to identify pathogenic staphylococci.
- Differentiates easily: Coagulase-positive strains form black colonies on this medium.
- Selective growth: Contains chemicals that inhibit unwanted bacteria, so only the target grows.
- Used in food safety and clinical labs: Helps ensure hygiene and prevent contamination.
