Product Description
When it comes to identifying antibiotic-resistant bacteria, accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable. The HiCrome® ESBL Agar Plate from Himedia is designed specifically for the detection of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producers, a critical step in clinical microbiology and research. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this medium simplifies the process of screening for ESBL-positive strains, ensuring you get clear, interpretable results every time.
ESBL-producing bacteria pose a significant challenge in healthcare settings, as they can render common beta-lactam antibiotics ineffective. This agar plate incorporates chromogenic substrates that allow for easy visual differentiation of ESBL producers from non-producers. The distinctive color change—typically pink to purple colonies—makes identification straightforward, even for those new to microbiological testing.
What sets the HiCrome® ESBL Agar Plate apart is its selectivity and sensitivity. The medium is formulated to suppress the growth of non-ESBL organisms while promoting the growth of ESBL producers. This ensures that your results are both accurate and easy to interpret, saving you time and reducing the risk of false positives or negatives.
