Does micrococcus luteus grow on macconkey agar?
MacConkey agar is designed to grow Gram-negative bacteria and also contains crystal violet dye which inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Since S. aureus is Gram-positive it should not grow on MacConkey agar. No. MacConkey agar inhibits MOST of the Gram-positive bacteria. There are some Gram-positive bacteria that can tolerate bile-salt are able to grow in MacConkey agar. Enterococcus and some species of Staphylococcus are able to grow in MacConkey.
