In my PhD project we are planning an environmental investigation of the bacterial load in the emergency medical service (ambulances, uniforms and hands of the paramedics) My question is: What agar plates to use if I want to know total kim and locate S. aureus(MRSA), Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus? and must the plates be with neutralizers for all bacteria focus, or is total kim enough? I would prefer to use specific plates, but can't seem to find all of them with neutralizers...
Also do anyone have experience with TSA agar, regarding the ability to locate my bacterial focus?
