Clear, quick results in as little as 18 hours! HardyCHROM™ ESBL is a selective and differential chromogenic medium which is intended for the qualitative and presumptive detection from stool specimens of: 1) Enterobacteriaceae that are potentially non-susceptible to ceftazidime and cefpodoxime; and 2) Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca. ESBL or Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases refer to a group of enzymes produced by some species of bacteria that can mediate the organism’s resistance to one or more broad spectrum penicillins and cephalosporin antibiotics. Hardy Diagnostics is proud to offer this breakthrough culture media that will help screen ESBL quickly and more efficiently from stool specimen. Features and Benefits: Results in as little as 18 hours Easy-to-read color read-out Escherichia coli produce pink colonies Proteus mirabilis produce yellow/gold colonies (10 per PK)

Carbapenem resistance screening! HardyCHROM™ CRE (Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae) is a selective and differential chromogenic agar medium intended for the qualitative and presumptive detection from stool specimens of Escherichia coli that are non-susceptible to carbapenems as pink colonies and KES (Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae complex, and Serratia marcescens) that are non-susceptible to carbapenems as blue colonies. HardyCHROM CRE is intended as an aid in the detection, identification of colonization and control of these bacteria in a healthcare setting. HardyCHROM™ CRE is not intended to diagnose infection or guide therapy. Results can be interpreted after incubation for 18-24 hours. Subculture to non-selective medium is required for confirming identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and epidemiological typing. Features and Benefits: Non-susceptible E. coli produces colonies that are rose to magenta in color with darker pink centers. Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Serratia spp. produce large, dark (10 per PK)

Leeds Acinetobacter Medium is a selective and differential medium intended for use as a plating technique to obtain a pure culture of Acinetobacter. The selective components in Leeds Acinetobacter Medium are traditionally cefsulodin and cephradine, which inhibit the growth of non-Acinetobacter gram-negative bacteria, and vancomycin, which inhibits the growth of gram-positive bacteria. Acinetobacter Medium substitutes antibiotics for the some of the antibiotics in the original reference. The presence of fructose and sucrose and neutral red, a pH indicator, allows the differentiation of bacteria based on the products released when the bacteria use fructose and sucrose as a nutrient source. The colonies of those that release acidic products are yellow, while the colonies of those that release alkaline products are red. Acinetobacter spp. will produce light pink mucoid colonies with a pink to mauve color diffused into the medium. The colonies are circular, convex, smooth, and opaque with entire margins of 1 to 2 mm in diameter after 24 hours at 35 degrees C. (10 per PK)
