CHROMID ESBL medium permitted the differential growth of Gram-negative bacteria, many with ESBL and carbapenemases. ESBL enterobacteria were susceptible to imipenem, carbapenemase-producing microorganisms grew around the imipenem disk, and vancoR was isolated on the medium. Results of the prospective study demonstrate the potential clinical relevance of this medium. was more frequently detected with pharyngeal swabs and ESBL , A. and with rectal swabs.
