BAIRD PARKER AGAR BASE (FPT) is supplied by TM MEDIA. It is used for the isolation and enumeration of coagulase-positive Staphylococci from food and other materials.This medium retains the Baird-Parker Agar Base, which has been specifically formulated to resuscitate injured cells. This medium differs from Baird-Parker Medium in that the egg yolk emulsion has been replaced by fibrinogen, rabbit plasma, and trypsin inhibitor. The fibrinogen was added to enhance the coagulase reaction in the medium. The addition of rabbit plasma was found to be more specific for the coagulase activity when compared to other sources of plasma. Trypsin inhibitor was added to prevent fibrinolysis.
