Hardy Diagnostics™ HardyCHROM™ UTI Chromogenic Medium

Description

UTI is a differential culture medium that facilitates the isolation and differentiation of urinary tract pathogens, including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria

• The development of various colors, due to chromogenic substances in the media, allows for the differentiation of microorganisms from the primary set-up of a urine specimen
• E. coli produces large magenta colonies (confirmatory, no further testing required)
• Enterococcus faecalis/faecium produces small, turquoise-colored colonies
• Pseudomonas spp. produce light yellow/green, translucent colonies
• Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Serratia spp. produce large, deep blue colonies
• Staphylococcus saprophyticus produces opaque, pink colonies
• Candida spp. produces small, white, moist colonies
• Proteus, Morganella, and Providencia spp. produce clear to light yellow colonies with a diffuse golden-orange halo in the medium
• Staphylococcus aureus produces opaque, white-colored colonies
• Citrobacter spp. produce dark blue colonies often with a rose halo in the surrounding media
