Effect of sodium chloride and sucrose in agar media on growth of staphylococci at high temperatures: a brief communication.
Sodium chloride and sucrose were shown to elevate the maximum temperature at which both coagulase positive and coagulase negative staphylococci would grow on the surface of nutrient agar. All of 200 isolates tested showed this effect.
