Abstract

Natural indicator, red cabbage extract (RCE) incorporated agars were developed, for the first time, as colorimetric sensors for identification of MRSA and MRSE. These strains were differentiated in RCE media with addition of plasma due to coagulase positive property of MRSA, they were differentiated by manipulating NaCl and introducing gelatin in RCE agar. RCE agar was examined based on concentration of NaCl and MRSA concentrations and incubation time for detection of MRSA.
