Selective Isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Recovers P. aeruginosa from mixed clinical and environmental samples using the selective properties of Cetrimide Agar.

Presumptive Identification via Pigment Production: Promotes pyocyanin and fluorescein production for presumptive recognition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Water and Environmental Testing: Detection and enumeration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in potable, recreational, and process waters.

Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Quality Control: Screening nonsterile products for objectionable Pseudomonas aeruginosa per pharmacopeial and regulatory guidelines.

Healthcare Environmental Monitoring: Surveillance of sinks, drains, faucets, and moist surfaces for Pseudomonas contamination.

Clinical Microbiology Workflows: Recovery of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from wound, respiratory, and urinary specimens as part of diagnostic algorithms.

Food and Beverage Hygiene Assessments: Screening of rinse waters and contact surfaces for Pseudomonas as hygiene indicators.

Industrial Microbiology and Utilities Monitoring: Detection of Pseudomonas in cooling towers, wastewater, and process systems.

Research on Pseudomonas Phenotypes: Studying pigment expression and colony morphology of Pseudomonas under selective pressure.

Presumptive Screening Prior to Confirmation: Initial isolation step before confirmatory tests (e.g., oxidase testing, growth at 42°C) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
