HardyCHROM CRE Agar is a selective and differential chromogenic medium, containing a carbapenem, intended for use as a plating technique to obtain a pure culture of gram-negative bacteria that produce carbapenemase
Test is performed with a mixed population of microorganisms from a laboratory sample
HardyCHROM CRE Agar is not intended for use in the identification of colonization with carbapenem-resistant bacteria to aid in the prevention and control of such bacteria in healthcare settings
HardyCHROM CRE Agar is not intended to diagnose infections by carbapenem-resistant bacteria, guide or monitor treatment for infections, or provide susceptibility results to a carbapenem
Sub-culturing is necessary for microorganism identification, susceptibility testing, and epidemiological typing
