Microbial enumeration

Inoculation with a 10 l calibrated loop.

Interpretation of bacteriuria:
< 10
4
CFU/ml: probable contamination between 10

and 10
5
CFU/ml: equivocal result, repeat test
on a new specimen
> 10

CFU/ml: probable infection
Compare the density of the colonies detected with that illustrated below (CFU = Colony forming Unit):

chromID

CPS

for the isolation, enumeration and direct identification of E.coli,

Proteus and Enterococci in one single step using urine specimens
Isolation and Enumeration of
all urinary tract pathogens
Colonies are well isolated and easy to identify
with real differentiating colors. Microbial
enumeration with colorless background to
optimize colony counting (for inoculation and
interpretation, see back page).
Direct Identification
chromID CPS contains specific substrates of the
enzymatic activities to be detected.
Greater Praticability
E.coli: -glucuronidase (-GUR).*
Proteus: spontaneous coloration of colonies
producing deaminase. No additional TDA
test required.
Enterococci: -glucosidase (-GLU).*
Higher Reliability*
Nutrient capacity
Sensitivity of detection and specificity of
coloration for the main organisms usually found
in urine.
Identification of the bacterial group KESC
(Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia and Citrobacter)

agalactiae.
