OXOID
Oxoid™ CLED Medium (500g) is a non-selective and differential medium designed for the cultivation of urinary pathogens, particularly Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae, from urine samples. The medium contains cysteine and lactose, which allow for the differentiation of lactose fermenters from non-fermenters. Lactose fermenters produce yellow colonies, while non-fermenters produce blue or green colonies. CLED (Cystine-Lactose-Electrolyte-Deficient) medium is particularly useful for reducing the swarming of Proteus species, enabling clearer colony enumeration.
