The principle of RAPID'Staph Medium is based on an optimized Baird-Parker formula to guarantee the detection and enumeration of S. aureus in 24 hr at 37°C. Typical staphylococci produce gray to black colonies that are shiny and convex (1?2 mm) with a clear 2?5 mm halo due to proteolysis of the egg yolk.
