Typically, MSA is used to isolate and differentiate various staphylcocci, some of which are pathogenic, like S. aureus, or non pathogenic like S. epidermidis. Staph are the only kind of bacteria that will grow on MSA. S. aureus is the only staph that ferments manitol. Meaning, MSA can be used to isolate pathogenic from non-pathogenic staph.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically grows well on MacConkey agar, which is a selective and differential media commonly used in microbiology to isolate Gram-negative bacteria like P. aeruginosa.
Puesdomonas is able to grow on the EMB plate because it is receives its energy form lactose fermentaion and also have a pink colour when grown on the EMB plate
It's not easy to differentiate the pigment of p aeruginosa on pseudomonas agar P from the pigment of E. coli on MacConkey agar without referring to the colors, but it can be done based on the structure of the p aeruginosa.
Yes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can grow on blood agar media because it is a non-selective medium that provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth. However, its growth on blood agar may not be as robust as on selective media designed specifically for its isolation and identification.
The optimal pH range for Pseudomonas aeruginosa is around 6.6-7.4. However, P. aeruginosa is known for its ability to adapt and survive in a wide range of acidic and alkaline environments.
Yes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is motile through the use of polar flagella, which allow the bacteria to move in liquid environments.
The difference between vibrio and pseudomonase is that the pseudomonas are opportunistic pathogenic bacteria while vibrio are nonsymbiotic bacteria.
