INTENDED USE<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
    \n
  • BacterChromTM<\/sup> KPC Agar <\/strong>is a selective and differential chromogenic culture medium, intended for use in the qualitative direct detection of gastrointestinal colonization with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteria (CRE) to aid in the prevention and control of CRE in healthcare settings.<\/li>\n
  • The medium can also be used as an early warning indicator for diagnostic tests of infections to signal the possible presence of multi drugresistant bacteria. BacterChromTM<\/sup> KPC Agar <\/strong>is not intended to diagnose CRE infection nor to guide nor monitor treatment for infections.<\/li>\n
  • The packaging with semi-permeable Cellophane film helps balance the humidity of the environment during storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • KPC carbapenemase, initially identified in Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/em>, is now found in various Gram-negative bacteria, including Serratia spp.<\/em>, Enterobacter spp.<\/em>, E. coli<\/em>, Citrobacter freundii<\/em>, and Salmonella enterica<\/em>. These enzymes confer resistance to multiple beta-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, which are critical in treating Gram-negative infections<\/li>\n
    • BacterChromTM<\/sup> KPC Agar<\/strong> contains selective agents to inhibit non-carbapenemase-producing organisms and differentiate carbapenemase producers:\n
        \n
      • Pink to red colonies: coli<\/em> (indole testing recommended).<\/li>\n
      • Metallic blue colonies: Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia.<\/em><\/li>\n
      • Colorless colonies: Acinetobacter spp., Salmonella spp<\/em>.<\/li>\n
      • Translucent colonies with wrinkled edges: Pseudomonas spp.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • This medium acts as a screening tool, with further confirmatory testing required per CLSI guidelines.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
