Methodology

Qualitative in vitro diagnostic real-time PCR assay, for the direct detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and S.aureus (SA) DNA from nasal swabs

  • MRSA positive/SA positive
  • MRSA negative/SA positive
  • MRSA negative/SA negative

Clinical Significance

MRSA and SA infections in healthcare settings. The MRSA/SA Test is not intended to diagnose, guide or monitor treatment for MRSA or SA infections, or provide results of susceptibility to methicillin. A negative result does not preclude MRSA/SA nasal colonization. Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for epidemiology typing or for further susceptibility testing.
