Modifications to CHROMagar Acinetobacter for improved selective growth of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Abstract
Performance of CHROMagar Acinetobacter was assessed for the selective isolation and identification of Acinetobacter baumannii. The medium was effective in suppressing the growth of other Gram-positive and Gram-negative species while the addition of KPC supplement ensured growth of only carbapenem resistant A baumannii.
