Oxacillin resistance screening agar base for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
In a recent letter, Simor et al. reported results obtained by using oxacillin resistance screening agar base (ORSAB; Oxoid Limited, Basingstoke, England) for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from clinical specimens (A. E. Simor, J. Goodfellow, L. Louie, and M. Louie, Letter, J. Clin. Microbiol. 39:3422, 2001). ORSAB is a modification of a mannitol-salt agar su...
متن کاملEvaluation of new medium, oxacillin resistance screening agar base, for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from clinical specimens.
The incidence of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to increase in many countries worldwide. Rapid identification of MRSA from clinical specimens and screening of high-risk patients for MRSA colonization have been found to be cost-effective measures for limiting the spread of the organism in hospitals (1, 6). Several screening media for the enhance...
متن کاملEvaluation of brilliance MRSA 2 agar for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in clinical samples.
We compared 2 chromogenic media (Oxoid Brilliance MRSA 2 agar [Thermo Fisher Scientific] and MRSA-ID [bioMérieux]) for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 1,368 hospital samples. For both media, broth enrichment was essential to obtain satisfactory diagnostic performance. Although with direct cultures only, the diagnostic performance (particularly sensitivity)...
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...
