PCR Rapidly Detects Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci Periprosthetic Infection
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Optimal treatment of methicillin-resistant staphylococcal periprosthetic infections is predicated on rapid and reliable detection of these organisms. Culture has served as the gold standard for identification of these organisms despite shortcomings with sensitivity and processing time. The objective of the current study was to investigate a polymerase chain reaction assay aimed at rapid genomic detection of...
