Mannitol Salt Agar contains mannitol, sodium chloride, and phenol red. The role of sodium chloride in the medium is: - To select for all gram positive bacteria - To select for all gram negative bacteria - To inhibit organisms other than Staphylococci - To differentiate Mannitol Salt agar (MSA) from Staphylococcus medium 110 (SM H10) 17. Which of the following is not a selective and differential medium for the growth of Gram negative enteric bacteria? - MacConkey Agar - Hektoen Agar - Xylose Lysine Desoxycholate (XLD) Agar - Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (FTM) 18. When incubated in Hektoen enteric agar, Shigella sp. and Salmonella sp. will be expected to produce: - Smooth colorless colonies - Reddish mucoid colonies - Greenish blue colonies - Bright orange pigmented colonies
