Swarm Agar is commonly used in microbiology laboratories to promote and observe swarming motility of certain bacteria, particularly Proteus species. This type of agar supports the rapid, coordinated movement of bacteria across the surface, which helps in the identification and differentiation of swarming organisms from non-swarming ones. It is also useful in studying bacterial behavior, biofilm formation, and colony morphology under conditions that mimic natural surface colonization. Due to its composition, Swarm Agar allows for extended incubation without drying, making it ideal for long-term motility studies. It is often used in clinical and research settings to isolate and characterize uropathogens and other motile bacteria.
