CHROMOGENIC ENTEROCOCCUS FAECIUM AGAR BASE

Chromogenic Enterococcus faecium Agar Base is used for identification of Enterobacter faecium from faeces, urine, soil, food, water, plants and animals. E.faecium is commonly found in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans. The resistance developed by Enterococcus species to various antimicrobials has led them to being a major cause of human infections including nosocomial infections. E.faecalis causes 80-90% of infection while E.faecium causes the majority of the remainder.
