Evaluation of chromogenic media for the isolation of vancomycin-resistant enterococci from stool samples

This study sought to evaluate the performance of two chromogenic media designed for the isolation of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and compare them with a traditional bile-esculin medium for the isolation of VRE from stool samples. A total of 285 stool samples were inoculated onto Chromogen...
