Name : CHROMAGAR KPC
- Indended Use :
Description : Chromogenic medium for detection of gram-negative bacteria with a reduced susceptibility to most of the carbapenem agents. Carbapenems are the last resort in treating many serious gram-negative infections. However, production of these enzymes results in resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins (i.e., cefepime, ceftriaxone), carbapenems (i.e., meropenem, ertapenem), and aztreonam, thereby making these pathogens truly multidrug-resistant and making their treatment very challenging.
