Scharlau, The wise choice Culture Media for Microbiology Chromogenic media CHROMagar CHROMagar Candida ✚ CHROMAGAR CHROMagar Orientation ✚ CHROMAGAR C. tropicalis C. krussei C. albicans Yeasts are increasingly important pathogens, particularly for immuno-depressed people such as the elderly, AIDS victims, etc. CHROMagar Candida will not only allow the growth and detection of yeasts (like the traditional Sabouraud Agar) but will also instantly allow you to differentiate various Candida species solely by the colour of the colony. CHROMagar Candida allows a powerful and easy detection of mixed yeast cultures and in some cases it can detect antifungal resistant strains present in the samples even as a minor population. 00000CA222 00000CA223 064-PA0076 Art.

No. 00000RT412 00000RT413 The major target of this medium is the detection of urinary tract pathogens with E. coli as red colonies, Klebsiella as metallic blue colonies, P. mirabilis as clear with brown halo colonies etc. However, CHROMagar Orientation has a broader application as a general nutrient agar for the isolation of various microorganisms.

No. 00000MR502 00000MR513 CHROMAGAR In recent years, an increasing number of hospitals have been infected by Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Unfortunately, current media continue to produce unreliable results in the detection of MRSA, especially with the increasingly frequent low-level resistant MRSA. CHROMagar MRSA, a revolutionary product that is proving to be a major breakthrough in detecting hospital patients carrying and spreading MRSA. Having a sensitivity and a specificity of close to one hundred percent (100%), CHROMagar MRSA easily detects MRSA including low level resistant strains as mallow colour Presentation Dehydrated medium for 5 litres* Dehydrated medium for 25 litres* Increase the power of CHROMagar Orientation by using highly selective supplements: CHROMagar ESBL supplement (enables the detection of organisms that produce ESBL (Extended Spectrum ß-Lactamase); CHROMagar KPC supplement (enables the detection of Gram bacteria that are less susceptible to the majority of carbapenemic agents); CHROMagar CTX-M supplement (enables a fast and highly specific detection of CTX-M producing bacteria).

Scharlau, The wise choice Culture Media for Microbiology Chromogenic media CHROMagar CHROMagar Strep B ✚ CHROMAGAR CHROMagar Mastitis ✚ CHROMAGAR Detecting vaginal colonization by Group B streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women is the most effective strategy to prevent neonatal infections. Worldwide, official guidelines recommend a screening of GBS between the 34th and 38th weeks of pregnancy, thus allowing for an appropriate preventive management of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis. CHROMagar Strep B is a powerful high performance tool for screening when compared with classical culture media: - Easy to read due to a high sensitivity and specificity in the acquisition of colonies (mauve colour). - Detection of nonhemolytic strains. - Results in 18-24 hours. - Incubation in aerobic atmosphere Mastitis infections in livestock are a major cause of economic losses. This infection causes a reduction in regard to the quantity and/or quality of the milk; increases veterinary costs due to excessive use of medicines, increases the risk of residues in milk and meat and thus becomes a public health risk. Mastitis is a multi-factorial disease, caused by multiple pathogens, making it difficult to control. CHROMagar Mastitis is a powerful tool for quick and easy differentiation of the key bacteria involved in these infections. Consists of a kit with 2 different chromogenic media, one for gram-positive bacteria and one for gram-negative bacteria. Art.

CHROMagar E. sakazakii ✚ CHROMAGAR E. sakazakii CHROMagar E. sakazakii is a chromogenic medium for detection of E. sakazakii (Cronobacter spp.) in food mainly powdered milks, according to ISO/TS 22664 Standard. This microorganism has been implicated in outbreaks causing meningitis or enteritis, especially in infants. Knowing the type of resistance to vancomycin among strains of Enterococci is critical in controlling infections. Acquired resistance found in E. faecium / E. faecalis VRE is transferable and can be spread among organisms. On the other hand the inherent resistance found in E. gallinarum / E. casseliflavus, is not transferable and has not been associated with epidemics. CHROMagar VRE allows for simple and direct detection thanks to the colour of the colonies of E. faecium / E.faecalis VRE (transferable resistance). With a high sensitivity and specificity. Art. No. 00000VR952 00000VR953 Microorganism Colour of the colony E. faecalis Mauve E. faecium Mauve E. gallinarum Blue or inhibited E. casseliflavus Blue or inhibited Other Colourless or inhibited Presentation Dehydrated medium for 5 litres* Dehydrated medium for 25 litres* Art.
