Modifications to CHROMagar Acinetobacter for improved selective growth of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

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 re...

Zusammenfassung:	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.
