It is used for the isolation and enumeration of coagulase-positive Staphylococci from food and other products.Baird Parker Agar can also be used to detect coagulase activity by adding fibrinogen plasma. Fibrinogen Plasma Trypsin Inhibitor supplement dissolved in 10 ml sterile distilled water added to 90 ml sterile molten media kept at 45-50C. On this medium, coagulase-positive colonies appear white to grey-black surrounded by an opaque zone due to coagulase activity within 24-48 hours of incubation at 35 deg C.
