Yes
The organism would be expected to grow better in nutrient agar. Nutrient agar is rich in nutrients and microorganisms grow well when there is availability of nutrients.
campylobacter can growth in mcconkey agar.
I dont believe so. I think I have AF for my unknown since I got all negative tests mostly and I didn't get growth on EMB.
Staphylococcus will not grow on Mac since crystal violet inhibits the growth of Gram positivesfmchinea: Actually some species of staphylococcus grow on MacConkey's plate including Staphylococcus aureus.
gram positive bacteria cannot grow due to the presence of bile salts and crystal violet in maConkey media.
this MacConkey with crystal violet can grow enterococcus
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.

E.coli shows pink colour colonies in MacConkey agar due to fermentation of lactose
campylobacter can growth in mcconkey agar.
MacConkey's agar refers to a culture medium that is designed to selectively grow Gram-negative bacteria. It contains crystal violet dye, which inhibits certain Gram-positive bacteria.
I dont believe so. I think I have AF for my unknown since I got all negative tests mostly and I didn't get growth on EMB.
This type of agar is designed to grow gram-negative bacteria. It will not grow gram-positive bacteria due to a dye in the formula of the agar.

Yes. But because it is not a lactose fermenter, the colonies will be colorless (or sometimes have a green tint).
Gram + bacteria do NOT grow on EMB agar, EMB agar inhibits their growth, and is selective for Gram -
