Detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using phage amplification combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry
Antibiotic resistance continues to contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality across the world. Developing new tests for antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a core action to combat resistant infections. We describe a method that uses phage amplification detection (PAD) combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) to rapidly identify Staphylococcus...
متن کاملEvaluation 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 کاملEvaluation of Cefoxitin Disk Diffusion Test for Routine Detection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Background and Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Detection of MRSA in laboratories is very important for treatment and appropriate infection control. The aim of this study was to evaluate cefoxitin disk diffusi...
متن کاملDetection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using a specific anti-PBP2a chicken IgY antibody.
Immunodetection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by conventional methods employing mammalian immunoglobulins has unknown detection limits, and often yields false-positive results because of the presence of S. aureus protein A, which binds the Fc region of mammalian IgG. In this study, a new PBP2a-specific chicken IgY antibody was developed in inbred and conventional chicken...
