The media for selectively detecting Van A and Van B VRE from testing microorganisms and specimens are media where enterococci can grow where vancomycin, D-cycloserine and D-lactate are added. Preferably 32-256 .mu.g/ml of vancomycin, 1-64 .mu.g/ml of D-cycloserine, and 0.025-0.8 mol/l of sodium lactate are added to culture medium where enterococci can grow.
