چکیده

Fifty-nine Staphylococcus aureus isolates from one hundred blood cultures containing gram-positive cocci in clusters were identified by conventional methods and the BD GeneOhm StaphSR assay (SR). The SR misidentified three methicillin (meticillin)-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates as methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA), while one MSSA isolate tested negative for S. aureus. The three MRSA isolates were strains with MREJ types that cannot be detected by the currently available SR.

To improve the clinical outcome of Staphylococcus aureus septicemia, the early selection of appropriate antibiotic treatment is crucial. Molecular diagnostics represents an attractive approach for the rapid identification of S. aureus and the determination of its methicillin (meticillin) resistance. In direct comparison to other molecular assays (sa442 and mecA real-time PCRs) and standard labo...

Evaluation of the BD GeneOhm StaphSR assay for detection of Staphylococcus aureus in patients in intensive care units.

BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is the major nosocomial pathogen and rapid detection of colonized patients with subsequent precaution is needed to prevent transmission. A new assay, the BD GeneOhm™ SaphSR assay (BD GeneOhm™, San Diego, CA, USA), is a multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for rapid detection of both methicillin-sensitive S aureus (MSSA) as well as methicillin-resi...

A bloodstream infection with Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), is a serious condition that carries a high mortality rate and is also associated with significant hospital costs. The rapid and accurate identification and differentiation of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and MRSA directly from positive blood cultures has demonstrated benefits in bot...
