This study investigates the effectiveness of a same-day polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for the rapid detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a general screening of patients admitted to the trauma surgery and heart surgery department in a German university hospital. A...
Heterogeneity arose from the methods used in MRSA screening (PCR/culture). Deeks funnel plot showed that the data and a low probability of publication bias. Conclusions Nares screening for MRSA had a high specificity and NPV for ruling out MRSA SSI. MRSA nares screening is a valuable tool to...
September 13, 2009 (San Francisco, California) — Universal screening using rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA) in hospitals appears to be a cost-effective way to reduce the incidence of the disease and cut costs. That was the ...

There are rapid screening tests that can detect the presence of MRSA DNA material (polymerase chain reaction,PCR) in a blood sample in as little as two hours. The test is able to determine whether the genetic material is from MRSA or from less resistant forms of staph bacteria. It may all...
Use of broth enrichment and real-time PCR to exclude the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in clinical samples: a sensitive screening... A rapid and sensitive method for excluding the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in clinical samples was developed ...

Results There were 76 positive by cefoxitin screening test in 157 SA strains.The positive rate of phenotype test was 48.41%.Seventy-six suspected MRSA strains were detected positive for mecA gene by PCR.The positive rate of MRSA confirmation test was 46.50%. SCCMEC of MRSA was used to type:...
Screening for MRSA in ICU patients. How does PCR compare with culture? The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has the potential to reduce the time before the... L Rajan,E Smyth,H Humphreys - 《Journal of Infection》 被引量...
United States; they also have technical advantages over methicillin. The term “MRSA” is still being used because of methicillin’s historic role. Additional screening tests include nucleic acid amplification tests, such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which are used to detect themecA ...
