Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) | Selective & Differential Culture Medium

Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) in Bangladesh

Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) is a widely used microbiological culture medium formulated for the selective isolation of Staphylococcus species and differentiation based on mannitol fermentation. The medium contains 7.5% sodium chloride, which inhibits the growth of most bacteria other than salt-tolerant staphylococci. The phenol red indicator changes color when mannitol is fermented, allowing easy differentiation of organisms based on colony appearance and surrounding medium.
