Selectively and differentially isolate and identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococci using Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ Cetrimide Selective Agar/Mannitol Salt Agar bi-plate respectively. This phenol red mannitol agar contains 7.5% sodium chloride as a selective agent as reported by Koch in 19421. In 1955, Lowbury described the use of cetrimide in a selective medium for P. aeruginosa2.
P. aeruginosa is a multi-drug resistant pathogen recognized for its ubiquity, its intrinsically advanced antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and its association with serious illnesses – hospital-acquired infections3.
Staphylococci are widespread in nature, although they are mainly found on the skin, skin glands and mucous membranes of mammals and birds. The coagulase-positive species, i.e. Staphylococcus aureus is well documented as a human opportunistic pathogen. The ability to clot plasma continues to be the most widely used and accepted criterion for the identification of pathogenic staphylococci associated with acute infections4.
