Evaluation of a chromogenic biplate medium (ChromID MRSA/ChromID S. aureus) for the simultaneous detection of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus in preoperative screening samples from the anterior nares.

چکیده
We evaluated the performance of the ChromID MRSA/ChromID S. aureus biplate for the simultaneous detection of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in preoperative screening samples. The sensitivity and specificity were 94.2% and 93.6%, respectively, for the S. aureus compartment and 92.9% and 99.7% for the MRSA compartment after 48 h incubation.

ChromID MRSA/ ChromID S.aureus biplate (BioMérieux) permits a reliable detection of both MRSA and MSSA in nasal screening samples after 48 h of incubation without an enrichment step. The sensitivities for both chromogenic sections were substantially higher (28-36%) after 48 h of incubation. Our study confirms that extension of the incubation time to 48 h enhances the sensitivity of MRSA/MSSA de...

Three chromogenic media, chromID MRSA SMART (SMART), chromID MRSA first generation (chromID), and Brilliance MRSA (OX2), were evaluated for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) screening using 1,220 samples. The sensitivity at 24 h was significantly better with the SMART agar (66.4%) than that with chromID agar (50.5%). Enrichment and incubation until 48 h are still needed for an ...
متن کاملEvaluation of commercial chromogenic media for the detection of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
BACKGROUND Selective chromogenic media allowing one-step meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolation and identification are widely used. However, the changing epidemiology of MRSA means that the suitability of these chromogenic media requires investigation. AIM To evaluate the following chromogenic media - Colorex MRSA, MRSA Select II, ChromID MRSA, and MRSA Brilliance 2 - for...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate two enrichment broths for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) detection and compare results with direct plating. METHODS Swabs from 1224 patients were re-analysed for MRSA in a central laboratory (Münster) using six methods. Swabs were suspended in 0.5 mL of non-selective enrichment broth (NB) and vortexed. Aliquots of 100 microL were inoculated on/into: ...
متن کاملIdentification of two borderline oxacillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus from routine nares swab specimens by one of three chromogenic agars evaluated for the detection of MRSA.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of nosocomial infections that result in extended hospital stays and increased mortality. Therefore, rapid, cost-effective techniques for surveillance and detection of MRSA are critical to the containment and prevention of the spread of MRSA within the health care environment. We examined the ability of 3 chromogenic media (Sp...
