Product
BD BBL Vancomycin Screen Agar Catalog number 222204 Vancomycin Screen Agar is used to test enterococci for resistance to vancomycin and to predict the synergistic activity of this antimicrobial with an aminoglycoside antimicrobial.
Reason
These lots of Agar may have exhibited breakthrough growth of vancomycin susceptible Enterococcus species control organisms. Agar that allows susceptible enterococci to grow appears as a falsely resistant culture. If a lab does not QC, the error would be identified as falsely resistant enterococci would have further AST workup. There could be a delay in the identification of false-resistance
