CHROMID MRSA 10P

chromIDÔ MRSA Agar is a chromogenic medium for the screening of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in chronic carriers or patients who are at risk for MRSA

(1, 7). This medium does not replace conventional

antimicrobial susceptibility tests.

MRSA are mutli-resistant bacteria which may cause nosocomial infections (3, 4, 5). The detection of MRSA carriers is particularly important for the epidemiological prevention and follow-up of these infections. In this context, the use of chromIDÔ MRSA Agar contributes towards the active surveillance of MRSA
