Abstract: The invention relates to culture medium for screening or enrichment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which medium comprises a combination of at least two cephalosporins.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an in vitro method for detecting an enzyme or a microorganism in a biological sample, comprising the steps of: a1) concentrating the microorganisms present in the biological sample, optionally after a a0) culture step of the microorganisms; b1) placing in suspension the microorganisms concentrated at step a1) in a solution containing at least one chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate capable of releasing a chromophore or fluorophore after hydrolysis by the enzyme to be detected; c1) detecting potential release of the chromophore or fluorophore obtained at step b1); the release of the chromophore or fluorophore detected at step c1) indicating the presence of the enzyme to be detected.

Abstract: A bacteria culture medium, to be used in anaerobic condition. A metal complex enables oxidative polymerisation of an indoxyl derivative and a substrate containing an indoxyl derivative leading to an insoluble coloured compound. The metal complex, in particular ammonium ferric citrate, contains a concentration ranging between 0.3 and 0.9 mg/ml, preferably 0.6 mg/ml. The culture medium may include a substrate such as X-Gal, at a concentration ranging between 10 and 500 mg/l.

Abstract: A combination product for the detection of bacteria. The product includes at least one oxidizing metal complex and at least one substrate containing an indoxyl derivative resulting in an insoluble colored compound for use simultaneously, separately or spread out over time.
