Lastly, new software AI/IA can accurately pre-assess growth on any manufacturer's
chromogenic agar for faster more accurate results, segregating presumptive positive cultures that may be missed on manual reading.
CHROMagar MRSA-Evaluation of a New
Chromogenic Medium for Isolation of MRSA.
The
chromogenic agar has the advantage of identifying directly a target bacterium according to the morphology and
chromogenic characteristic of its colony.
CHROMagar supplies the widest range of
chromogenic culture media available, covering applications in clinical bacteriology, industrial microbiology, and quality control for food and beverage industries, water testing and environmental monitoring.
A previous study at our institution found discrepancies between Phoenix nitrocefin and a
chromogenic cephalosporin test in the determination of penicillinase activity (14), which led us to prospectively investigate these differences and to compare results with Phoenix MIC values for penicillin and ampicillin and to compare results with ampicillin disk diffusion.
The Bland-Altman bias plots for all anti-Xa measurements demonstrated a negative bias, indicating that lower levels were detected by
chromogenic methods, as compared with those obtained using LC-MS/ MS (Figure 1).
Strains that produce AY-glucosidase such as Enterococci and the Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia group form blue colonies result from hydrolysis of glucoside a
chromogenic substrate incorporated in the medium.
The technology is compatible with FFPE specimens, conventional
chromogenic and fluorescent dyes, and is suitable for bright-field microscopy and multiplex analysis.
General topics include: smart inorganic materials systems, stimuli responsive polymers and gels, luminescent and
chromogenic materials systems, non-volatile memory devices, metamaterials, graphene, and multifunctional materials for energy harvesting.

Chromogenic Groups," Simona Percec, and Susan H.
Battleground Point #14, a 1999
chromogenic print by Richard Misrach, starkly depicts a gracefully curving desert sand dune reflected perfectly in a vast shimmering temporary lake created by a flash flood in Nevada's Carson Sink.
