An epidemic CC1-MRSA-IV clone yields false negative test results in molecular MRSA identification assays: a note of caution

2020-05-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> A variety of rapid molecular PCR tests has been developed and commercialised that interrogate the junction site between the staphylococcal core genome, and the mobile genetic element (SCC mec ) which harbours the gene responsible for methicillin-/beta-lactam-resistance. <h4>Aim</h4> The purpose of the present study was to investigate why a clinical MRSA isolate yielded false n...
