PNP Agar is an agar medium used in microbiology to identify Staphylococcus species that have phosphatase activity. The medium changes color when p-nitrophenylphosphate disodium (PNP) is dephosphorylated.[1]

PNP agar is composed of Mueller-Hinton agar buffered to pH 5.6 to 5.8, with the addition of 0.495 mg/mL PNP.[2]
