Baird-Parker agar is a type of agar used for the selective isolation of the gram-positive bacterial genus, Staphylococci. [1] It contains lithium chloride and tellurite to inhibit the growth of alternative microbial flora, while pyruvate and glycine promote the growth of Staphylococci. [2] Staphylococcus colonies show up black in colour with clear zones produced around them. [3] [4]
