CHROMOGENIC UTI AGAR

Urinary tract infections are bacterial infections affecting parts of the urinary tract. The common symptoms of urinary tract infection are urgency and frequency of micturition, with associated discomfort or pain. The common condition called cystitis is due to infection of the bladder with a uropathogenic bacterium, which most frequently is Escherichia coli, but sometimes Staphylococcus saprophyticus or especially in cases hospital-acquired infections, Klebsiella species, Proteus mirabilis and other coliforms like Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Enterococcus faecalis. Chromogenic UTI Agar is formulated on basis of work carried out by Pezzlo Wilkie et al, Friedman et al, Murray et al, Soriano and Ponte and Merlino et al.
