PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a culture medium capable of simply, rapidly and surely detect vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by including vancomycin and a substance supporting a cell wall synthesis system into a culture medium in which gram-positive bacterium grows. SOLUTION: Vancomycin in such an amount that vancomycin concentration in the culture medium becomes 3-6μg/ml and a material supporting a cell wall synthesis comprising one or more amino acids, sugar, peptide, murein monomer precursor, an inorganic salt, vitamins, ATP, etc., are formulated into a culture medium such as HI medium, HIA medium, BHI medium or BHIA medium in which gram-positive bacterium grows to provide the objective vancomycin resistant bacterium used for simple, rapid and sure detection of a vancomycin- resistant bacterium such as vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus useful in a clinical field. |
