A pentaplex PCR assay for the rapid detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Panton-Valentine Leucocidin

1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen, especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), which causes a wide range of hospital and community-acquired infections worldwide. Conventional testing for detection of MRSA takes 2-5 days to yield complete information of the organism and its antibiotic sensitivity pattern. RESULTS: The present study focused on the development of a pentaplex PCR...
