Product Code: LAB041
A medium for urine culture first described by Mackey and Sandys in 1960.
The absence of electrolytes inhibits the swarming of Proteus
spp. Cystine is added for the benefit of those organisms which have a specific cystine requirement. Differentiation of lactose and non
lactose fermenters is achieved using bromothymol blue as pH indicator. This medium supports the growth of Streptococcus pyogenes and
most other fastidious organisms that do not require blood.
