The Eosine Methylene Blue test is selective for only gram-negative bacteria. It is possible for gram-positive bacteria to grow, but it would barely grow. Staphylococcus are gram-positive spherical bacteria. So it would not grow on the Eosine methylene Blue Agar.

So here is the deal, same use different recipies different results to do the same thing. I'll just post some lecture notes and hope that helps:MacConkey's Agar (enterics)Selective for gram negativeCrystal violet and bile salts prevent non-entericsDifferential for lactose fermentationNon-fermenter --> white/clear coloniesFermenter--> red/pink coloniesEosin Methylene Blue (EMB) (Weakly selective for intestinal pathogens)Selective for gram negativeEosin and methylene blue inhibit gram positive growthDifferential for lactose fermentationLactose fermenters produce a green-metallic sheenNon-fermenters do notNOTE: EMB Agar is not in common use anymore

What does starch agar select for?
EMB plate testing is used to look for bacteria with lactose fermentation. + test results show dark purple, blackish or metalic green bacteria colony. On EMB plate, following results showed with 4 different bacteria. * E. aerogenes: Purple colony (+) * E. coli: Metalic green colony (+) * S. aureus: No growth (-) * S. facealis: No growth (-) With the result, we can conclude that lactose fermentation occured by E. aerogeneus and E. coli.
