RESUMO
We evaluated the performance of three chromogenic media (BBL CHROMagar™ Staph aureus, ChromID™ S. aureus SAID, ChromID™ S. aureus Elite SAIDE) for the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus in respiratory samples in patients with cystic fibrosis in comparison with CNA media. We reported a similar ability of the four media to support the growth of S. aureus and that sensitivity increased when incubation lasted more than 24â¯h. SAIDE had the higher sensitivity compared to the other media and kept a high specificity even after 72â¯h.
