Does S epidermidis test positive for MSA agar test?

Yes. S. epidermidis is a bacterial species found commonly on the skin as a part of a human's natural bioflora. Sweating releases salt and causes the surface of our skin to be very salty, providing an environment in which many bacteria would normally perish. S. epidermidis, however, prefers such an environment and thus it is also able to grow regularly when cultured on Mannitol Salt Agar plates.
