Rapid genotypic confirmation of methicillin resistance.

Pathology - 1 Aug 1996

Inglis T J, Rahman W

Abstract excerpt

Detection of phenotypic methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus clinical strains by conventional disk diffusion testing is fraught with problems. We used gene amplification of the mecA locus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in conjunction with a capillary/air thermal cycler, to overcome both the inaccuracy of phenotypic methods and the lengthy processing times required for previous genotypic methods....
