Abstract

CRE-JU is a novel selective agar for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae that contains ceftazidime, cloxacillin, meropenem, and vancomycin. This study evaluated the ability of 63 carbapenem-resistant isolates and 53 non-carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains clinically isolated in Japan, Myanmar, Nepal, and Vietnam to grow on CRE-JU. CRE-JU showed 92.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity for detecting carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae compared with dug susceptibility profiles.
