Evaluation of Multiple Real-Time PCR Tests on Nasal Samples in a Large MRSA Surveillance Program

14 Apr 2015

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the LightCycler MRSA Advanced Test (Roche Molecular Diagnostics, Pleasanton, CA), the BD MAX MRSA assay (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ), and the Xpert MRSA assay (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA) on nasal samples using the same population. METHODS: Admission and discharge nasal swabs were collected from inpatients using a double-headed swab. One swab was plated onto CHROMagar MRSA (CMA;...
