Description
Chromogenic selective medium for detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae directly from clinical specimens.
Chromatic CRE Agar Base is a chromogenic selective medium used with supplements for detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae directly from clinical specimens.
Carbapenems (imipenem, meropenem, ertapenem and doripenem) are the last shelter from multi-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. Carbapenemase is an enzyme class which can be produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae and by other organisms including Serratia spp, Enterobacter spp, Escherichia coli and Citrobacter freundii. Early detection of carbapenems resistance is essential in order to limit the spread of these pathogens.
