BBL CHROMagar VanRE (CVRE) was compared with bile esculin azide agar plus vancomycin to screen for vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) colonization. CVRE distinguishes Enterococcus faecalis (green colonies) from Enterococcus faecium (mauve colonies) on the basis of chromogenic substrate use. CVRE sensitivity and specificity were 98.6% and 99.1%. Positive and negative predictive values were 95.9% and 99.7%.
BBL CHROMagar VanRE (CVRE) 与胆汁七叶苷叠氮琼脂加万古霉素比较,用于筛选万古霉素耐药肠球菌(VRE)定植。CVRE 根据显色底物的使用将粪肠球菌(绿色菌落)与屎肠球菌(淡紫色菌落)区分开来。CVRE 的敏感性和特异性分别为 98.6%和 99.1%。阳性和阴性预测值分别为 95.9%和 99.7%。
