Baird Staphylococcus Enrichment Broth Base is developed from the tellurite glycine formulation of Zebovitz et al (1) for enrichment of pathogenic Staphylococcus . Casein enzymic hydrolysate, peptic digest of animal tissue, meat and yeast extract are sources of nitrogen, carbon, sulphur and vitamins. Sodium pyruvate not only protects injured cells and helps recovery but also stimulates Staphylococcus aureus growth without destroying selectivity. Lithium chloride and potassium tellurite inhibit most of the contaminating microflora except Staphylococcus aureus . Glycine, pyruvate enhances growth of Staphylococcus . Storage and Shelf-life: Store below 30°C in tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 2-8°C. Use before expiry date on the label. Reference: 1. Zebovitz E, Evans J B and Niver CF, 1955 J.
