Directions
Suspend 47.02 grams in 1000 ml purified / distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 118 - 121°C (12-15 lbs pressure respectively) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45 - 50°C. Add 7 - 15% v/v sterile, pre-tested, rabbit plasma the basal medium. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.
Principle And Interpretation
The genus Staphylococcus comprises 28 accepted or proposed species, 14 of which may be encountered in human clinical specimens. Staphylococci are generally found on the skin and mucous membranes of humans and other animals. Some of the pathogenic staphylococci in both humans and animals produce an enzyme called coagulase and detection of this enzyme is used in the laboratory to identify these organisms (1).
These media are used for the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical specimens and for differentiation of S.aureus from other species on the basis of coagulase production and mannitol fermentation. Chapman for the first time introduced a medium for selective isolation and differentiation of Staphylococci (2). Tellurite-glycine media were designed by Zebovitz et al (3) and Marwin (4) for selectively isolating coagulase-positive Staphylococcal species. Present medium is based on Esber and Faulconer formulation (5). Mutant or old cultures of S.aureus may be weak coagulase producers. They should be freshly sub cultured and rechecked. Escherichia coli ferments mannitol and may be weakly coagulase positive. Coagulase production is dependent on the presence of a fermentable sugar like mannitol in this case. Coagulase Mannitol HiVeg™ Agar Base is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks. It is also dependent on the presence of a protein factor in the HiVeg™ special infusion and blood plasma (6). When mannitol is fermented, the pH of the medium surrounding the coagulase positive colonies drops. This drop in pH is indicated by the change in colour of the bromocresol purple indicator, which turns yellow and exhibits yellow zones around the colonies. An opaque area of coagulated plasma forms around the colonies of coagulase positive organisms. Staphylococcus epidermidis is coagulase negative and mannitol non-fermenting species, which does not change the colour of the medium. Coagulase negative species may ferment mannitol and produce a yellow zone around the colonies but an opaque zone will not be formed.
Type of specimen
Please add specimens
Specimen Collection and Handling
After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- Some mutant strains of S.aureus may show coagulase weak or negative reaction. The culture should be retested in case of doubt.
- Some strains of E.coli may show mannitol fermentation and weak coagulase positive reaction.
- Gram strain may help in distinguishing between species

Storage and Shelf Life
Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 2-8°C. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle in order to prevent lump formation due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period.
Disposal
User must ensure safe disposal by autoclaving and/or incineration of used or unusable preparations of this product. Follow established laboratory procedures in disposing of infectious materials and material that comes into contact with sample must be decontaminated and disposed of in accordance with current laboratory techniques (7,8).
