<prompt> In a patient with UTI, CLED Cysteine, Lactose Electrolyte Deficient Media is preferred over Macconkeys media because:It is a differential mediumIt inhibits swarming of ProteusPromotes growth of PseudomonasPromotes growth of staph aureus and Candida  <response>: CLED is preferable to Mac Conkeys bile-salt lactose medium for the culture of coliform and other bacteria from infected urine. Like McConkey medium, it distinguishes between lactose-fermenting yellow and lactose non-fermenting blue, grey or green colonies, inhibits the swarming of proteus and shows the greenish colour, matt surface and rough periphery of pseudomonas colonies. However, it has the advantage of suppoing the growth of ceain staphylococci, streptococci and candidas that fail to grow on MacConkey.
