Description
Chromatic CRE / Chromatic ESBL - For Microbiology Lab Testing Carbapenems are the last shelter from multi-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections
Key Features
- Patients infected by CRE or ESBL producers often received inadequate empirical therapy until the pathogens resistance is recognized
Available Sizes / Formats
- 90 mm ready-to-use plates 20 plates
Applications
- Bi-plate for detection of resistance to carbapenems and β-lactams among Enterobacteriaceae directly from clinical specimens
- ChromaticTM CRE / ChromaticTM ESBL is a ready-to-use plate containing two distinct selective and chromogenic media used for the isolation and identification of extended-spectrum β-lactamase- and/or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
- Carbapenemase is an enzyme class which can be produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae and by other organisms including Serratia and Enterobacter spp as well as Escherichia coli and Citrobacter freundii
- ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae have become one of the most important causes of nosocomial community-acquired infections caused by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae but also other Gram-negative bacteria
- Early detection is therefore essential in order to limit the spread of these pathogens
