This is a chromogenic medium based on CLED that has been developed to allow differentiation and presumptive identification of organisms typically found in urinary tract infections. Reduced electrolyte concentration prevents swarming of Proteus spp. A sophisticated binary chromogenic system and supplementation with tryptophan allows differentiation of Enterococcus spp. (turquoise colonies), Proteus spp. (clear colonies with a brown halo), Enterobacter spp. (metallic blue colonies), Staphylococcus spp. (white colonies), and E. coli (purple colonies).
