Multiplex PCR for identification of methicillin-resistant staphylococci in the clinical laboratory

1 Jul 1994

Abstract excerpt

A multiplex PCR assay for detection of the staphylococcal mecA gene (the structural gene for penicillin-binding protein 2a) was compared with agar dilution and disk diffusion susceptibility test methods for identifying methicillin resistance. The multiplex PCR assay combined two primer sets (mecA and 16S rRNA) in a single reaction. A total of 500 staphylococcal isolates (228 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and...
