Section I:

HardyCHROM™ CRE (Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacterales) is a selective and differential chromogenic agar medium intended for the qualitative and presumptive detection from stool specimens of Escherichia coli that are non-susceptible to carbapenems as pink colonies and KES (Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae complex, and Serratia marcescens) that are non-susceptible to carbapenems as blue colonies.

Section II:

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.

Features and Benefits:

• Optically clear polystyrene
  For distortion-free viewing.
• Heavy-Duty
  Reduces breakage during shipping.
• Stacking rings
  Polystyrene Petri plates feature raised rings for stacking ability and to prevent sliding.
• Breathable Packaging
  Packaged in sleeves of 10 plates in a "breathable" bag that prevents buildup of condensation and excess moisture.

This media is to be stored and incubated in the dark.
