Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for direct detection and differentiation of carbapenem-resistant bacteria in a sample comprising (i) inoculation with said sample of a culture medium comprising at least meropenem and/or ertapenem and at least one chromogenic agent, (ii) incubation of said culture medium under conditions allowing the growth of carbapenem-resistant bacteria, and (iii) detection of colonies formed on said culture medium corresponding to carbapenem-resistant bacteria, as well as a culture medium suitable for use in such a method.
