Product catalog summary
Introduction
Spectra™ VRE is the first chromogenic media designed for the 24-hour detection of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). It is used to aid in the prevention and control of VRE in healthcare settings by detecting gastrointestinal colonization.

Clinical Performance
The media demonstrates high clinical performance with a VRE agreement of 99.1%, non-agreement of 99.8%, and an overall agreement of 99.5%.

Significance of VRE
VRE is the third leading cause of healthcare-associated infections and poses a risk of transferring vancomycin resistance to other gram-positive organisms, such as MRSA.

Product Features
  • Reliable Performance: Accurately classifies patients as positive or negative, helping to control the spread of vancomycin resistance.
  • Workflow Simplicity: Provides conclusive results within 24 hours using rectal swabs and stool specimens, with no special handling required.
  • Economical Solution: Reduces hospital and patient costs by minimizing false positives and unnecessary isolation, with no need for confirmatory testing.

Product Packaging
  • Spectra™ VRE: Available in 10 Plates/Pk (R01830) and 100 Plates/Cs (R01832).
  • Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis and faecium: Available in 5 Loops/Pk.
