The peptones constitute nutritive substrates necessary for the rapid growth of Pseudomonas.
The chromogenic substrate contained in the medium is hydrolyzed by all Pseudomonas. As a result, colonies present a light blue to blue-green coloration. The selective system and the cephalosporin insure the inhibition of most of the secondary flora.
