Chromogenic UTI Modified Agar A1 Quality – HX-Media

Chromogenic UTI Modified Agar A1 Quality – HX-Media

Product Overview

Chromogenic UTI Modified Agar is a selective and differential medium formulated for the isolation and identification of common urinary tract pathogens. It contains chromogenic substrates that react with specific bacterial enzymes, producing distinct colony colors for easy differentiation.

The medium supports the growth of key uropathogens such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, and Enterococcus, while inhibiting unwanted flora. UTI Modified Agar is widely used in clinical diagnostics, hospital laboratories, and routine urine culture analysis for faster and more accurate results.
