CLED Agar is a differential culture medium for use in isolating and enumerating bacteria in urine. MacConkey II Agar is a selective and differential medium for the isolation and differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae and a variety of other gram-negative rods from clinical and non-clinical specimens.

What bacteria grows on Cled Agar?

BD CLED Agar is suitable for the isolation and counting of many aerobically growing microorganisms, such as Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas and other non-fermenting Gram negative rods, enterococci, staphylococci, Candida species, and many others from urine specimens.

Why does Cled stop swarming?

Applications: Cysteine Lactose Electrolyte Deficient (CLED) agar is a non-inhibitory growth medium used for isolation and differentiation of bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. Since CLED agar is electrolyte (salt) deficient, it can be used to prevent the swarming of Proteus spp.
