Selective and Differential Bacterial Isolation Culture
Selective and differential bacterial isolation culture separates viable bacteria by plating specimens on solid media that both suppress unwanted organisms and display interpretable colony phenotypes. MacConkey-type media use bile salts to support intestinal Gram-negative organisms while distinguishing lactose-fermenting bacteria in fecal material; sorbitol-MacConkey replaces lactose with sorbitol to detect non-sorbitol-fermenting Escherichia coli O157:H7; mannitol salt agar selectively recovers Staphylococcus aureus and differentiates yellow mannitol-positive colonies; chromogenic orientation media use enzyme-substrate color reactions to presumptively distinguish uropathogens on primary plates.
