Impact of Rapid mecA Polymerase Chain Reaction Rapid Diagnostic Testing for Staphylococcus aureus in a Pediatric Setting

2019-06-03

Abstract excerpt

Background Rapid mecA testing, in combination with antimicrobial stewardship intervention, has improved outcomes in adults with Staphylococcus aureus (SA) bacteremia. In pediatric patients, data comparing rapid molecular testing to conventional susceptibility testing for methicillin resistance in SA are limited, and benefits have been observed only in combination with a coordinated real-time antimicrobial stewards...
