Intended Use
BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ 0157 is a selective medium for the isolation, differentiation and presumptive identification of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 from clinical human stool specimens.
Device Description
BBL™ CHROMagar™ O157 formulation incorporates chromogenic substrates, which allow colonies of E. coli O157:H7 to produce a mauve color for presumptive identification from the primary isolation plate and differentiation from other organisms. Specially selected Difco™ peptones are incorporated to supply nutrients. The addition of potassium tellurite, cefixime and cefsulodin reduces the number of bacteria other than E. coli O157:H7 that grow on this medium. The chromogen mix consists of artificial substrates (chromogens), which release an insoluble colored compound when hydrolyzed by a specific enzyme. E. coli O157:H7 utilizes one of the chromoqenic substrates producing mauve colonies. The growth of mauve colonies is considered presumptive for E. coli 0157:H7 on BBL™ CHROMagar™ 0157. Non-E. coli O157:H7 bacteria may utilize other chromogenic substrates resulting in blue-green colored colonies or, if none of the chromogenic substrates are utilized, colonies may appear as their natural color. These visually distinct colored colonies facilitate the detection and differentiation of E. coli 0157:H7 from other organisms.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Internal Studies: An internal evaluation of BBL™ CHROMagar™ 0157 was performed in the Research & Development Laboratory of BD Diagnostic Systems. Testing included 1) a study comparing the performance of BBL ™ CHROMagar™ O157 to two commercially available, selective and differential media used for the presumptive identification for E. coli O157:H7 [BBL™ MacConkey II Agar with Sorbitol (SMAC) and BBL™ Sorbitol MacConkey II Agar with Cefixime and Tellurite (SMAC-CT)], 2) a Limit of Detection study, and 3) a verification study of product performance using a latex agglutination test. These tests demonstrate that BBL CHROMagar 0157 performs as well as the predicate device, SMAC and another commercially available medium (SMAC-CT) in presumptively identifying E. coli 0157:H7.

Additional analytical studies were conducted with BBL CHROMagar 0157 to demonstrate the performance of the medium under a number of variable conditions. This testing included 1) a cross reactivity study using fifty-nine (59) non-E. coli 0157:H7 organisms including various species from the following Geneses: Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Vibrio, Aeromonas, Campylobacter and Plesiomonas, and 2) an interference study using fourteen (14) substances that may be present in stool or rectal specimens. These substances included lubricants, water, soap, laxatives, suppositories and various hemorrhoidal treatments.

The results for the cross reactivity study indicated that only one of the 59 organisms, Salmonella serotype Heidelberg, exhibited mauve colonies when plated on BBL. CHROMagar 0157. The results of the interference study showed that none of the substances tested interfered with the performance of the BBL CHROMagar 0157 medium.

External Studies: A clinical study was conducted at an external centralized regional clinical laboratory that rountinely tests for E. coli 0157:H7 in stool specimens were inoculated onto Sorital-MacConkey (SMAC) and BBL CHROMagar 0157 media and incubated aerobically for 18-24 hours at 35°C. Each Plate was read by an independent technologist and confirmatory testing (indole and serotyping) was conducted on all suspected colony samples. A total of 3,136 stool specimens were cultured, of which 2,855 specimens provided acceptable results for this study while 281 specimens were determined to the noncompliant to the required testing matrix.

INTENDED USE:

BBL ™ CHROMagar™ 0157 is a selective medium for the isolation, differentiation and presumptive identification of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 from clinical human stool specimens.

21 CFR § 866.2360 Class I

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

BBL™ CHROMagar™ O157 formulation incorporates chromogenic substrates, which allow colonies of E. coli O157:H7 to produce a mauve color for presumptive identification from the primary isolation plate and differentiation from other organisms. Specially selected Difco™ peptones are incorporated to supply nutrients. The addition of potassium tellurite, cefixime and cefsulodin reduces the number of bacteria other than E. coli O157:H7 that grow on this medium. The chromogen mix consists of artificial substrates (chromogens), which release an insoluble colored compound when hydrolyzed by a specific enzyme. E. coli O157:H7 utilizes one of the chromoqenic substrates producing mauve colonies. The growth of mauve colonies is considered presumptive for E. coli 0157:H7 on BBL™ CHROMagar™ 0157. Non-E. coli O157:H7 bacteria may utilize other chromogenic substrates resulting in blue-green colored colonies or, if none of the chromogenic substrates are utilized, colonies may appear as their natural color. These visually distinct colored colonies facilitate the detection and differentiation of E. coli 0157:H7 from other organisms.

DEVICE COMPARISON:

The BBL™ CHROMagar™ 0157 medium differs from the BBL™ MacConkey II Agar with Sorbitol medium in the following ways:

  • . BBL CHROMagar 0157 utilizes a chromogenic mix to differentiate E. coli 0157:H7 from other E. coli and fecal organisms, whereas BBL MacConkey II Agar with Sorbitol utilizes sorbitol and neutral red indicator to differentiate E. coli 0157:H7 from other E. coli strains.
  • . BBL CHROMagar O157 utilizes tellurite, cefixime and cefsulodin as selective agents to reduce and/or inhibit bacterial growth other than E. coli 0157:H7, whereas BBL MacConkey II Agar with Sorbitol utilizes bile salts and crystal violet as selective agents to reduce and/or inhibit bacterial growth.
  • . BBL CHROMagar 0157 presumptively identifies E. coli 0157:H7 by its ability to hydrolyze a specific substrate that produces a mauve color, whereas BBL MacConkey II Agar with Sorbitol presumptively identifies E. coli 0157:H7 by its inability to ferment sorbitol thereby producing a colorless colony.

Internal Studies:

An internal evaluation of BBL™ CHROMagar™ 0157 was performed in the Research & Development Laboratory of BD Diagnostic Systems. Testing included 1) a study comparing the performance of BBL ™ CHROMagar™ O157 to two commercially available, selective and differential media used for the presumptive identification for E. coli O157:H7 [BBL™ MacConkey II Agar with Sorbitol (SMAC) and BBL™ Sorbitol MacConkey II Agar with Cefixime and Tellurite (SMAC-CT)], 2) a Limit of Detection study, and 3) a verification study of product performance using a latex agglutination test. These tests demonstrate that BBL CHROMagar 0157 performs as well as the predicate device, SMAC and another commercially available medium (SMAC-CT) in presumptively identifying E. coli 0157:H7.

Additional analytical studies were conducted with BBL CHROMagar 0157 to demonstrate the performance of the medium under a number of variable conditions. This testing included 1) a cross reactivity study using fifty-nine (59) non-E. coli 0157:H7 organisms including various species from the following Geneses: Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Vibrio, Aeromonas, Campylobacter and Plesiomonas, and 2) an interference study using fourteen (14) substances that may be present in stool or rectal specimens. These substances included lubricants, water, soap, laxatives, suppositories and various hemorrhoidal treatments.
