Overview
Product Specifications

HardyCHROM™ 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.

  • Can be used with only a minimum number of confirmatory tests
  • The most frequently isolated species produce characteristic enzymes that can be specified by the colored compounds produced by the chromogens
  • 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
