New selective and differential chromogenic agar medium, chromID VRE, for screening vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus species.

This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a novel differential culture medium, chromID VRE agar, for the isolation of VRE in a clinical laboratory. It was shown that ChromID VRE agar may be useful for rapid and selective isolation of VRE especially after inclusion of broth enrichment step.
