Description
Isolate Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) and High-Level Aminoglycoside Resistant Enterococci (HLARE) from clinical samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ VRE Broth Base (Dehydrated). The proliferation of enterococci resistant to many commonly used antimicrobials is on the increase1. The recent emergence of VRE is of great concern as enterococci can cause bacteremia, endocarditis, and urinary tract infections.
The use of VRE Agar Base complies with recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to detect VRE infection in its early stages2.

VRE Agar Base contains an indicator system to detect the growth of aesculin-hydrolysing organisms. Enterococci produce black zones around the colonies from the formation of black iron phenolic compounds derived from aesculin-hydrolysis products and ferrous iron.
