Objective To find the most suitable read-to-use Baird-Parker agar plate by evaluating the performance of three manufacturers’ products. Methods The Baird-Parker agar plates of three manufacturers were compared to select the most suitable product for the laboratory with five different aspects, including product appearance, quality control test, Staphylococcus aureus colony morphology, characteristic reaction and colony count. Results The Baird-Parke agar plates of the three manufacturers were conformed to the quality control requirements of GB4789.28-2013. The product of manufacturer A was firstly excluded because of instability. The main differences between plate B and plate C were in appearance and colony size, and finally the product of manufacturer B was selected for daily inspection. Conclusion There are differences in the culture medium products of different manufacturers, and the changes in the storage conditions during transportation will also lead to changes in product performance, so strict screening and quality control should be carried out before use.
