Detection of Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureusand Simultaneous Confirmation by Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction and Real-Time PCR
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
A molecular assay for the simultaneous detection of a Staphylococcus aureus-specific gene and the mecA gene, responsible for the resistance to methicillin in staphylococci, was evaluated. The assay included an automated DNA extraction protocol conducted with a MagNA Pure instrument and real-time PCR conducted with a LightCycler instrument. The performance and robustness of the assay were evaluated for a...
