<prompt> In a patient with UTI, CLED Cystine, Lactose Electrolyte Deficient Media is preferred over MacConkey media because -It is a differential mediumIt inhibits swarming of ProteusPromotes growth of PseudomonasPromotes growth of staph aureus and Candida  <response>: Lactose Electrolyte efficient CLED MediaCLED agar is a non- selective differential plating media for the growth and enumeration of urinary tract microorganisms.It contains LactoseCasein peptoneGelatin peptoneBeef extractL - cysteineBromothymol blueAgarOmitting sodium chloride electrolyte deficient inhibits the proteus swarming and supports the growth of a great majority of bacteria causing urinary tract infections and as used to differentiate and identify them.Similarities, between CLED Media MacConkeys Medium Both are differential mediaBoth MacConkey and CLED media differentiates between lactose fermenting non lactose fermentingBoth CLED MaConkey media inhibits swarming of proteusBoth show greenish colour, matt surface rough periphery of Pseudomonas coloniesCLED media is preferred over MacConkeys for the culture of coliform and other bacteria from infected urine because -It has the advantage of supporting the growth of certain Staphylococcus, Streptococci and Candida strain. - Macon Macgregor, 13the
