Mannitol Salt Agar is a selective and differential medium commonly used in microbiology to differentiate and cultivate salt-tolerant bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus species. It contains mannitol as a carbohydrate source and phenol red as a pH indicator, making it useful for identifying bacteria based on their ability to ferment mannitol and produce acid.
