Question
The mannitol salt agar (MSA) is used as a selective media because it select the bacteria which could live in specific conditions. For example, Staphylococcus species could survive in high salt concentration and MSA will act as a selective media to select these bacteria.
On the other hand, MSA is also a differential media as it allow the growth of both gram positive as well as gram negative bacteria.
1 Why is mannitol salt agar considered a selective as well as a differential media?
Mannitol salt agar (MSA) is a both a selective and differential medium. Which of the following regarding MSA is TRUE? (There may be more than one answer) ( MSA turns yellow when bacteria are able to ferment maltose I MSA selects for acid tolerant bacteria () MSA turns yellow when bacteria are able to ferment mannitol MSA selects for salt tolerant bacteria
Microbiology - Gram Positive (ONLY answer) [Q1] Mannitol salt agar is both selective and differential. - True - False [Q2] Mueller Hinton medium is a selective and differential medium. - True - False [Q3] 6.5% Salt broth is used to distinguish - Streptococci and Enterococci - Streptococci and Staphylococci - E. coli and Salmonella - Enterobacter and Streptococci

Background
Ques part 1)
Selective and differential media; EMB and Tsl agar bacill inhabit a wide range of environments. Many are significant pathogens, such a coli, Salmonella, Shigella, but many compose our normal flora and inhabit soil and water. Many gra negative bacilli that inhabit our large intestine are called enterics. Enteric pathogens are the most frequent cause of diarrheal illnesses and have become significant contaminants spread through foo Some can also cause respiratory and urinary infections.
