Detection of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Directly from Nasal Swab Specimens by a Real-Time PCR Assay

1 Dec 2004

Abstract excerpt

Screening for colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a key aspect of infection control to limit the nosocomial spread of this organism. Current methods for the detection of MRSA in clinical microbiology laboratories, including molecularly based techniques, require a culture step and the isolation of pure colonies that result in a minimum of 20 to 24 h until a result is known. We...
