CHROMagar™ mSuperCARBA™ (RUO), 5000mL
CHROMagar™ mSuperCARBA™ (RUO) is a selective chromogenic culture medium for the qualitative detection and differentiation of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), including OXA-48 and OXA-48-like carbapenemase producers, from rectal swabs and stool specimens. Following 18-24 hours of aerobic incubation at 35-37°C, the medium enables rapid presumptive identification of gastrointestinal CRE colonization to support infection prevention, surveillance, and antimicrobial resistance screening. Presumptive isolates require confirmatory identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and epidemiological characterization.
👉 Key Performance Features:
Broad Carbapenemase Detection: Detects a wide range of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales, including OXA-48 and OXA-48-like producers, following 18-24 hours of incubation.
High Sensitivity: Provides an analytical limit of detection of approximately 10 CFU/mL, enabling recovery of low-level colonization.
High Selectivity and Specificity: Selectively recovers carbapenemase-producing organisms while inhibiting most carbapenem-susceptible bacteria, ESBL producers, and AmpC hyperproducers, improving detection accuracy.
Rapid Colonization Screening: Supports direct screening of rectal swabs and stool specimens for efficient surveillance of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE).
📌 This product is labeled for Research Use Only (RUO).
