Thermo Scientific™ Brilliance™ MRSA 2 Agar/ Brilliance™ Staph 24 Agar
Descrizione
Make rapid treatment decisions with fast, accurate detection and identification of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and coagulase positive staphylococci using the bi-plate combination of Thermo Scientific™ Brilliance™ MRSA 2 Agar/ Brilliance™ Staph 24 Agar. The importance of screening as part of an effective program to limit the spread of MRSA is well recognized, and speed and accuracy of results are critical. Colonized patients can then be isolated and treated as early as possible.
A variety of media are traditionally used to screen for MRSA. Most of these have issues of sensitivity or specificity, and all require up to 48 hours incubation. The bi-plate combination of Brilliance MRSA 2 Agar/ Brilliance Staph 24 Agar allows clear and reliable differentiation between coagulase positive and negative staphylococci.
Brilliance MRSA 2 Agar utilizes a chromogen to yield a blue color as a result of phosphatase activity. This enzyme is present in all MRSA. To allow the medium to differentiate MRSA accurately, it contains a combination of antibacterial compounds designed to inhibit the growth of a wide variety of competitor organisms and MSSAs. Through the inclusion of a novel pink counter-stain, non-target organisms that do grow are more easily distinguished from distinctive MRSA colonies.
Brilliance Staph 24 Agar is a selective, chromogenic medium for the isolation and enumeration of coagulase positive staphylococci (CPS) in clinical samples. With traditional media, such as Columbia CAN Agar, detection is not limited to staphylococci, so organisms like streptococci can also grow. However, Brilliance
Staph 24 Agar reduces non-target organism growth while allowing all strains of CPS to grow uninhibited, providing more accurate results and reducing the number of confirmatory tests required.
