Acinetobacter is an organism which has a high capacity for survival on environmental surfaces. Its ability to acquire anti-microbial resistance is a course of increased concern for nosocomial infection. In hospitals Acinetobacter baumanii for example can enter the body through open wounds, catheters and breathing tubes. Any effective infection control policy should include faecal surveillance. CHROMagar Acinetobacter is a tool specifically designed to facilitate this step, allowing detection of Acinetobacter species which develop as intensely coloured red colonies, clearly differentiated from any background flora. |
