Evaluation of BBL CHROMagar orientation medium for detection and presumptive identification of urinary tract pathogens

Evaluation of The BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System for Identification of Selected Species on BBL CHROMagar Orientation and CHROMagar MRSA

Evaluation of CHROMagar Orientation for differentiation and presumptive identification of gram-negative bacilli and Enterococcus species.

A new chromogenic plate medium, CHROMagar Orientation, was evaluated for use in the differentiation and presumptive identification of gram-negative bacilli and Enterococcus species by a multipoint inoculation (replicator) technique. In this study, 1,404 gram-negative bacilli and 74 enterococcal isolates were tested on CHROMagar Orientation. Six control American Type Culture Collection strains w...

Evaluation of the Chromogenic Medium (CPS) in the Isolation and Identification of Urinary Tract Pathogens

Urinary tract infection, Chromogenic media Background: Urine cultures constitute the majority of the workload for a microbiology laboratory with only 20%-30% of urine sample resulting in significant growth. Chromogenic media (CM) are available for urine specimens to enable rapid identification of common pathogens and also has been reported to increase mixed culture detection, reducing unnecessa...

Molecular approaches for detection and identification of foodborne pathogens

Foodborne pathogens comprise microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and parasites that can be transmitted by food and affect public health worldwide. The most common viruses transmitted via food are hepatitis A virus and Norwalk-like caliciviruses. Also, the most common bacteria involved in foodborne illnesses are Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp, Escherichia...

CHROMagar Candida, a new differential isolation medium for presumptive identification of clinically important Candida species.

CHROMagar Candida is a novel, differential culture medium that is claimed to facilitate the isolation and presumptive identification of some clinically important yeast species. We evaluated the use of this medium with 726 yeast isolates, including 82 isolated directly on the medium from clinical material. After 2 days of incubation at 37 degrees C, 285 C. albicans isolates gave distinctive gree...
