HardyCHROM VRE
HardyCHROM™ VRE Agar is used as a cost effective primary screening medium for the detection and differentiation of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), such as Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium, from fecal and rectal cultures, by using chromogenic substances.
  • Rapid Screening for VRE - Isolates organisms directly from patient specimen within 24 hours

  • Easy-to-read Color Reactions - Brightly colored colonies are seen more easily against opaque green/white background

  • Chromogenic Differentiation - Clearly distinguishes between vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (red) and Enterococcus faecium (blue)

  • Inhibition of Intrinsically Resistant Enterococci - False positives are avoided by inhibiting E. casseliflavus and E. gallinarum

  • Highly selective Medium - Inhibits most other bacteria and yeast
