Selective media technique is used for the growth of specific microorganisms. Assume that a microorganism is resistant to a particular antibiotic, then that particular antibiotic is added to the medium to prevent the growth of other cells that do not possess the resistance to the antibiotics.

The major difference between the selective and non-selective media technique is that, the non-selective media allows the growth of several different bacterial species whereas the selective media technique allows the growth of only specific bacteria. Using selective media technique you can also isolate a certain strain of microorganism which is not possible in non-selective technique.
