Overview

Carry out primary, selective isolation of extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae in qualitative procedures with InMicro® Prepared: VACC Agar (With Vancomycin Amphotericin B, Ceftazidime, and Clindamycin).

Extended Spectrum β Lactamases are enzymes capable of conferring bacterial resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins, and aztreonam by hydrolysis of these antibiotics . Production of ESBLs is a significant resistance-mechanism that impedes the antimicrobial treatment of infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae and is a serious threat to the currently available antibiotic armory.

The medium can facilitate earlier identification of colonized patients and can help reduce the cost of surveillance screening.

  • Selective: selective agents vancomycin, amphotericin B, ceftazidime, and clindamycin inhibit many commensal organisms found in the large intestine while at the same time allowing the growth of certain resistant organisms.
  • Facilitates earlier identification of colonized patients and can help reduce the cost of surveillance screening.
  • Ready to use convenience of prepared media.

In a study conducted from 2000 to 2005, there were 17,872 inpatients screened for rectal colonization with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. The colonization rate doubled during this study4.During the same study cited above, 8.5% of colonized patients developed a subsequent bloodstream infection. Surveillance screening is useful for infection control and antimicrobial stewardship in controlling the proliferation of ESBL-producing bacteria. The use of VACC Agar can facilitate earlier identification of colonized patients and can help reduce the cost of surveillance screening.
