from diagnosis, the seeds of better health

ISOLATION and ENUMERATION of all urinary tract pathogens

Colonies are well isolated and easy to identify with real differentiating colours. Microbial enumeration with colourless background to optimise colony counting (for inoculation and interpretation, see back page).

DIRECT IDENTIFICATION
CPS ID 3, NEW generation contains specific substrates of the enzymatic activities to be detected.

GREATER PRATICABILITY

E.coli: -glucuronidase (-GUR). No indole test required. Proteus: spontaneous colouration of colonies producing deaminase. No additional TDA test required. Enterococci: -glucosidase (-GLU).

P.mirabilis E.coli Enterococci

Pink to burgundy colonies

-glucuronidase + -glucosidase -

Light brown to dark brown colonies

-glucuronidase - / -glucosidase deaminase +

Turquoise colonies
-glucuronidase -glucosidase +

Proteus E. coli

GREATER RELIABILITY AND IMPROVED PERFORMANCE *

The NEW GENERATION of CPS ID 3 has increased :

Nutrient capacity, mainly for staphylococci and yeasts. Sensitivity of detection and specificity of colouration for the main organisms usually found in urine. Identification of the bacterial group KESC (Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia and Citrobacter) KESC => better colour intensity, due to increased -glucosidase activity. Orientation of identification towards Streptococcus agalactiae.

Klebsiella pneumoniae

Green to brownish-green colonies : -GLU + Direct examination : bacilli Complete the identification

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pigmented colonies Direct examination : mobile bacilli Oxidase + Complete the identification

Staphylococcus aureus
Immediate identification with : Usually yellow colonies Direct examination : cocci Catalase + Slidex Staph Plus

Candida albicans Streptococcus agalactiae

Usually violet colonies Presumption of Streptococcus agalactiae Complete the identification

White colonies Direct examination : yeasts Complete the identification

IDENTIFICATION OF POLYMICROBIAL MIXTURES

Mixed culture showing : E.coli and Enteroccoci Mixed culture showing : E.coli, Proteus and Enteroccoci
Immediate identification with :

Pink to burgundy : E.coli

Light brown to dark brown : Proteus

Turquoise : Enterococci

Mixed culture showing : K.pneumoniae and Enteroccoci Mixed culture showing : E.coli and P. mirabilis

Microbial enumeration :

Inoculation with a 10 l calibrated loop. Interpretation of bacteriuria : < 104 CFU/ml : probable contamination between 104 and 105 CFU/ml : equivocal result, repeat test on a new specimen > 105 CFU/ml : probable infection Compare the density of the colonies detected with that illustrated below (CFU = Colony forming Unit) :

104 CFU/ml 103 CFU/ml

105 CFU/ml

106 CFU/ml
