HardyCHROM™ ESBL is a selective and differential chromogenic medium that is intended for the qualitative and presumptive detection from stool specimens of 1) Enterobacterales that are potentially non-susceptible to ceftazidime and cefpodoxime; and 2) Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae , and Klebsiella oxytoca.
