We are making identification easy with the release of the Hardy Diagnostics HardyCHROM™ Group A Strep Agar.
Our new chromogenic medium allows for an easy-to-read and straight forward selective cultivation and differential isolation of Group A Streptococcus (S. pyogenes) or GAS.
GAS can be differentiated on this medium based on colony color (red, red-brown, or red-orange colonies) among other non-GAS bacteria that are part of the throat flora (blue, clear, or white colonies) after 24 hours of incubation.
I am really pleased with your MRSA medium. The growth is more luxurious and color is more intense than our current chromogenic media, even at < 24 hours.
