Reported Clinical Performance Control the spread of VRE, so it doesn't control you. Spectra™ VRE is a selective and differential chromogenic medium recommended for use in the qualitative detection of gastrointestinal colonization of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) to aid in the prevention and control of VRE in healthcare settings. Spectra VRE allows differentiation of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis. Reliable Performance • Correctly classifies patients whether positive or negative • Enables you to control the spread of vancomycin resistance and prevent VRE colonized patients from becoming infected Workflow Simplicity • Conclusive results in 24 hours with rectal swabs and stool specimens • No light sensitivity, so no special handling Economical Solution • Correct classification decreases hospital and patient costs due to false positives and unnecessary isolation • Confirmatory testing is NOT required References: 1.
