Photos of Staphylococcus Bacteria
from Science Prof Online
1. "S. epi" written on TSY agar using Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria; 2. S. epi colonies growing on TSY agar; 3. Streak plate of S. epi on TSY agar, viewed from bottom.
1. Bacterial colonies growing on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA). Small, white punctiform colonies are Staph.
2. Bacterial colonies growing on MSA. Weak mannitol fermenters on left. Staph epi on right.
3. Mannitol Salt Agar. Left plate is growing mannitol+ pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Right plate growing mannitol- normal flora Staphylococcus epidermidis.
4 & 5. Mannitol Salt Agar viewed from bottom & top. Yellow side of plate is growing mannitol+ pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Pink side of plate growing mannitol- normal flora Staphylococcus epidermidis.
6 & 7. S. epi written in Staphylococcus epidermidis and growing on Mannitol Salt Agar.
8. Staphylococcus aureus on Mannitol Salt Agar
9. Staphylococcus aureus plated on Manntiol Salt Agar (left) and MacConkey's Agar (right). Note no growth on MacConkey's.
1, 2, 3 & 4. Staphylococcus bacteria Gram stained and viewed at 1000xTM; 5. Staphylococcus bacterial smear Gram stained and viewed at 100xTM.
