HiCrome™ KPC Agar Base

This is a chromogenic medium designed for the detection and differentiation of KPC producing gram negative bacterial species without selective pre-enrichment. This medium can be made selective by supplementation with antibiotics for detecting microorganisms associated with hospital borne infections. Selective supplements have been added to inhibit the growth of yeast, gram positive organisms and gram negative organisms that do not produce carbapenemase. This medium is intended to be used as a screening medium.
