The fight against drug resistance and Healthcare Associated Infections
Growing resistance of organisms to antimicrobial therapies is causing major patient-care and economic challenges for healthcare systems. Some organisms – referred to as multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) – are becoming resistant to multiple types or classes of antimicrobials. Resistant organisms are also frequently involved in the spread of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI). That’s why, for best patient care and to prevent the spread of disease, it is critical to implement appropriate antimicrobial therapy as soon as possible, based on rapid testing to identify the pathogens involved and test for their resistance. Not responding appropriately could be “potentially catastrophic,” as stated by the CDC in its recently released report on Antibiotic Resistance Threats1.
Leveraging our expertise in high-quality chromogenic culture media, bioMérieux brings you theCHROMID® chromogenic media range conveniently brought together for “SMART” solutions to test for some of the “top-offenders” in drug resistance and HAI.
- Standardized method: antibiotic concentration is controlled for each batch
- Can be used on bioMérieux’s PREVI® Isola automated agar plate inoculation system for better colony isolation
- Easy to read: many plates include chromogenic substrates and peptones to enable specific coloration for clear identification
- Decrease the number of confirmation tests thanks to high performance
- Time saving
- Cost saving
- Lower workload
- A Certificate of Compatibility ensures compatibility with complementary products, including ID/AST
