Product Description
CLED Medium (Cystine-Lactose-Electrolyte-Deficient) is a specific agar medium designed to isolate and differentiate urinary organisms, particularly for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI).
The medium is designed to support the growth of a diverse range of organisms, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, while allowing for the selective inhibition of particular species that are often non-pathogenic in the urinary tract.
CLED Medium is a medium widely employed in clinical microbiology labs, especially when testing urine samples for bacterial growth. Because lactose is included in the medium, it is possible to differentiate lactose fermenters (yellow colonies) from nonfermenters (blue colonies).
The medium is designed not to be influenced by electrolytes, allowing for optimum growth conditions and accurate results.
CLED Medium is supplied in 500g packs, an ideal size for high volume microbiological laboratories.
Key Features
– **Targeted for UTI-Causing Organisms:** Promotes the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria responsible for UTIs.
– **Lactose Fermentation:** Distinguishes between lactose fermenters (yellow colonies) and non-fermenters (blue colonies) to help identify bacterial species.
– **Electrolyte Depleted:** Inhibits the swarming of Proteus, most frequently causing a bacT/ALERT urine culture contaminant.
– **Application:** Perfect for routine microbiological testing in clinical diagnostics and research laboratories.
– **500g Packaging:** Convenient in the laboratory where solid is the way of life! Cost-effective solution.
Principle of Action
CLED Medium contains cystine, lactose, and electrolyte-deficient media for the isolation of urinary pathogens and the suppression of growth of non-target organisms.
With the fermentation of lactose, several species of bacteria can be distinguished by their colony colours. Lactose-fermenting forms have yellow colonies, and non-fermenters develop blue colonies.
Applications
– **Healthcare & Clinical Laboratories:** For urine samples to isolate and identify urinary pathogens for the diagnosis of urinary tract infections.
– **Environmental Microbiology:** Provides a tool to detect contamination in water supplies and ecological samples, safeguarding public health.
– **Food Safety & Quality Control:** Used for the test of pathogens which can cause diseases of the digestive system of food and beverage products.
– **Research & Academia:** Used in microbiological research studying urinary pathogens and for the development and testing of new diagnostic methods.
