Quantitative reverse transcription‐PCR assay for the rapid detection of methicillin‐resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
13 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To evaluate a new quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) assay for the rapid detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS AND RESULTS: Primers for Staphylococcus-specific regions of 16S rRNA gene, spa gene and mecA gene were newly designed. RNAs extracted from broth-cultured strains were tested by qRT-PCR targeting each primer, and the bacterial counts obtained...
