Rapid Detection of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Directly from Sterile or Nonsterile Clinical Samples by a New Molecular Assay
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
A rapid procedure was developed for detection and identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) directly from sterile sites or mixed flora samples (e.g., nose or inguinal swabs). After a rapid conditioning of samples, the method consists of two main steps: (i) immunomagnetic enrichment in S. aureus and (ii) amplification-detection profile on DNA extracts using multiplex quantitative PCR...
