CHROMOGENIC UTI SELECTIVE AGAR *

Chromogenic UTI Selective Agar is formulated on the basis of work carried out by Pezzlo, Wilkie et al, Friedman et al, Murray et al, Soriano and Ponte and Merlino et al. This media is a modification of Chromogenic UTI Agar (TM 1199), which can be used in place of MacConkey Agar for isolation, and confirmation of various microorganisms. It facilitates and expedites the identification of some gram-negative bacteria and some gram-positive bacteria on the basis of different contrasted colony colours produced by reactions of genus or species specific enzymes with two chromogenic substrates.

for identifcation, differentiation and confirmation of enteric bacteria from specimens such as urine
