The major target of this medium is for the detection of urinary tract pathogens, but CHROMagar Orientation has a broader application as a general nutrient agar for isolation of various microorganisms. For the first time, it presents an instant palette of colors to obtain larger spectrum of differentiation of species. In case of urine samples this allows, in most cases, full differentiation of the pathogens. In addition, CHROMagar Orientation can be also used to differentiate various microorganisms in other infected areas; e.g. scars. CHROMagar Orientation is also useful when supplemented with various antibiotics in detecting increasingly important nosocomial and multiple resistant microorganisms. The proper use of CHROMagar Orientation will correctly pinpoint the presence of a minor population and will help to establish the right diagnosis and therapy.
