composition of BAP
nutrient agar + 5% sheep RBC
appearance of staphylococcus in BAP
creamy white colonies / pin head / beta hemolytic
incomplete hemolytic
alpha hemolytic
hemolytic pattern surrounded by green or brown zone
alpha hemolytic
complete hemolysis
beta hemolytic
colony is surrounded by clear zone
beta hemolytic
colony surrounded by inner alpha one of hemolysis and an outer b-zone of hemolysis
alpha prime
no hemolytic pattern
gamma hemolytic
main purpose is to enhance pigmentation of staphylococcus
Loeffler’s serum slant
Golden yellow in LSS
S. aureus
Lemon yellow in LSS
S. citreus
Porcelain white in LSS
S. albus / S. epidermidis

Mannitol Salt Agar
inhibitor of MSA
7.5% NaCl
pH indicator of MSA
phenol red
(pH) appears yellow in MSA
Acidic
(pH) appears red to pink in MSA
Alkaline
carbohydrate component that differentiates mannitol fermenters organism with the use of pH indicator
mannitol
T/F: S. aureus is a mannitol fermenter
True
T/F: S. epidermidis is a mannitol fermenter
false
T/F S. saphrophyticus cannot ferment mannitol
true
test that differentiate staphylococcus from streptococcus
catalase test
T/F: Staphylococcus is catalase negative
