Baird-Parker selective agar with the addition of RPF allows the direct enumeration (without confirmation of colonies) of coagulase-positive staphylococci (Staphylococcus aureus and other species) in products intended for human or animal consumption and water according to ISO6888-2 norm and other national microbiological standard methods. The principle of the complete medium Baird-Parker base for RPF relies on the ability of coagulase-positive staphylococci to reduce tellurite (gray to black colonies), and to transform the plasma fibrinogen to fibrin as a result of their coagulase activity (whitish opaque halo around colonies). Due to its lithium chloride and potassium tellurite content this medium inhibits other bacteria. Sulfamethazine further increase selectivity against Proteus species. Bio-Rad Baird-Parker medium with RPF is available in complete pre-poured ready-to-use plates or as a kit (base agar bottles + RPF vials).
