Abstract: Culture media play a crucial role in the identification of bacterial pathogens. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of MacErt1 and MacErt2 culture media, for the selective detection of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales (CPEs). MacErt1 and MacErt2 were formulated by supplementing MacConkey agar with 0.5 mg/L and 1 mg/L of ertapenem, respectively. The two media were assessed using a panel of 26 characterized Enterobacterales, including CPEs producing OXA-48, NDM, and KPC. Then, the media were emp… Show more
