Use this chromagar MRSA powder for isolation and differentiation of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Thanks to early detection you will be able to control the spread of MRSA and avoid nosocomical infections in healthcare settings, such as intensive care units.
- Selective and differential chromogenic medium for the qualitative direct detection of colonization by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
- Aids in the prevention an control of MRSA in healthcare settings
- The medium exhibits sensitivity and specificity values close to 100 %
- The test is performed on anterior nares or perineal swab specimens from patients and healthcare workers to screen for MRSA colonization
- Fast and easy interpretation: results can be interpreted after 18-24 h of aerobic incubation at 35-37 °C, intense mauve colony colour
- Not intended to diagnose, guide, nor monitor therapy for MRSA infections, nor provide results of susceptibility to methicillin
- A lack of growth or the absence of pink colonies on CHROMagar™ MRSA does not preclude the presence of MRSA. Further identification, susceptibility testing, and epidemiological typing is needed on suspect colonies
- CHROMagar™ MRSA can also be used in conjunction with other laboratory tests and clinical data available to aid in the identification and in the diagnosis of MRSA infections in skin, soft tissue, wounds and positive blood cultures
- Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for further microbiological susceptibility testing or epidemiological typing
