Evaluation of the BBL Crystal MRSA ID System for detection of oxacillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
AIMS To evaluate the BBL Crystal MRSA ID System for detection of oxacillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. METHODS 52 methicillin resistant S aureus (MRSA) from five different countries and 85 methicillin susceptible S aureus (MSSA) were included. The species was confirmed by tube coagulation and detection of the clumping factor using the Staphaurex Plus. Clonal non-identity of the MRSA ...

متن کاملEvaluation of Different Phenotypic and Genotypic Methods for Detection of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been emerged as a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen worldwide. There are many challenges for laboratory detection of MRSA. The aim of this study was to compare different phenotypic methods with PCR based method as a gold standard for detection of mecA gene. <b...
متن کاملEvaluation of Five Phenotypic Methods for Detection of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
BackgroundandObjectives:RapidandaccuratedetectionofmethicillinresistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important role of clinical microbiology laboratories to avoid treatment failure. The aim of this study was to compare conventional methods against the E-test minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method to determine the best phenotypic method. Materials a...
متن کاملRapid detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolates by the MRSA-screen latex agglutination test.
The slide agglutination test MRSA-Screen (Denka Seiken Co., Niigata, Japan) was compared with the mecA PCR ("gold standard") for the detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. The MRSA-Screen test detected the penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) antigen in 87 of 90 genetically diverse methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) stock culture strains, leading to a sensitivity of ...
