KM0007 Primary UTI Agar is a chromogenic agar that has been developed to allow differentiation and presumptive identification of organisms typically found in urinary tract infections.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTI’s) account for 35-40% of all hospital acquired infections in the UK. Gram negative aerobic bacteria are responsible for a considerable proportion of UTI’s with Escherichia coli isolation rates at 80-90% of first-time infections. Various other opportunistic bacterial species can cause UTI’s.
KM0007 may be used as a chromogenic medium for the quantification and presumptive identification of bacteria in urine from clinical samples in line with the UK Standards for Microbiology Investigations and tested in accordance with the principles of ISO 11133:2014.
