The dyes (eosin Y and methylene blue) inhibit the growth of gram- positive bacteria.
Staphylococcus bacteria typically do not grow well on Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar. EMB agar is selective for gram-negative bacteria, particularly Enterobacteriaceae, and contains dyes that inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus.
Epiphyseal plate
Staphylococcus aureus can grow on crystal violet agar plates as crystal violet agar is a selective medium that inhibits the growth of Gram-negative bacteria and allows the growth of Gram-positive bacteria like S. aureus.
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a gram-positive bacterium and does not ferment lactose. Therefore, on a MacConkey agar plate, S. epidermidis would appear as colorless, indicating a negative result for lactose fermentation. Additionally, there would not be any pink or red colonies representing acid production.
The thin band of cartilage where bone growth occurs is called the epiphyseal plate. This plate is responsible for lengthening bones during the growth phase in children and adolescents. Once growth is complete, the plate ossifies and is replaced by solid bone.
An EMB (Eosin Methylene Blue) plate is a selective and differential agar medium used for the isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative bacteria, particularly for detecting Enterobacteriaceae. It contains lactose, eosin Y, methylene blue, and peptone to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and selectively isolate Gram-negative bacteria. The medium distinguishes lactose fermenters (which appear pink to dark purple) from non-fermenters (which appear colorless or pale).
it hurts quite bad. I fractured my growth plate in my shoulder.I took a couple x rays and it had a tiny crack in the growth plate.

Use selective media agar plates. Different types of agar will let bacteria grow and inhibit fungal growth, or vice versa.

In those who are not fully adult, growth plates are located on the ends of long bones. On the arm, the growth plate is located on the end of the humerus near the elbow.
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
