BAIRD PARKER AGAR BASE is supplied by TM MEDIA. It is used for the isolation and enumeration of coagulase-positive Staphylococci from food and other products.Baird Parker Agar was developed by Baird Parker from the Tellurite-glycine formulation of Zebovitz et al (3) for isolation and enumeration of Staphylococci in food and other material since it allows a good differentiation of coagulase-positive strains. A high correlation has been found between the coagulase test and the presence of a clear zone of lipolysis in this medium, which is due to the lecithinase of Staphylococci that breakdown, down the egg yolk.
