Evaluation of a rapid culture-based screening test for detection of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The performance of a culture based assay, BacLite Rapid MRSA for the rapid detection (5 hours) of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from specimens (n = 377) obtained from nares, throat, wounds and perineum was investigated. Compared to culture based reference methods (chromogenic MRSA ID (bioMerieux)), selective enrichment broth, PBP2' latex agglutination (Oxoid) and VITEK 2 id...
متن کاملRapid detection of epidemic strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Fifty methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) initial isolates obtained from patients hospitalized in the orthopedic clinic of the Frankfurt University Hospital and 150 methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolates were investigated in this study to determine whether the Slidex Staph-Kit is capable of differentiating between MRSA and MSSA owing to its unique performance...
متن کاملDetection of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by CHROMagar Versus Cefoxitin Disk Diffusion Method
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been emerged as a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen worldwide. There are many challenges for laboratory detection of MRSA. The aim of this study was to compare different phenotypic methods with PCR based method as a gold standard for detection of mecA gene to detection of MRSA. A total of 220 clinical isolates of S. aureus which w...
متن کاملRapid PCR detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus samples from charcoal-containing blood culture bottles.
Recent advances in technology have allowed development of automated, rapid, real-time PCR tests that are able to differentiate between methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in blood cultures. These include the Cepheid Xpert MRSA/SA blood culture assay used with the GeneXpert Dx system (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA), which has been found to have ...
متن کاملrapid detection of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus isolates by turanose fermentation method
conclusions since it is highly important to rapidly detect mrsa isolates, especially in nosocomial infections, phenotypic methods may certainly be useful for this purpose. resistance to methicillin in s. aureus shows a substantially increased ability in turanose metabolism. it is concluded that fermentation of turanose at 0.7% dilution could be a rapid detection method for primary screening of ...
