Detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae while selectively inhibiting AmpC resistance mechanisms using Thermo Scientific™ Brilliance™ ESBL Agar. Improve processing time through the direct inoculation from screening swab, isolated colony or from a liquid suspension.

ESBL-producing E. coli grow as either blue or pink colonies. ESBL-producing members of the KESC group produce green colonies; Proteus, Morganella and Providencia do not utilize either chromogen but are able to deaminate tryptohan, resulting in tan colonies with a brown halo.

Brilliance ESBL Agar is a selective medium for the screening of clinical samples for the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria.

Easily and clearly differentiate E.coli and the KESC group by different colors to help to identify ESBL producing organisms . The inhibition of AmpC producers reduce false positives and the need for confirmatory tests.
