Evaluation of the IDI-MRSA Assay for Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Nasal and Rectal Specimens Pooled in a Selective Broth Repeat testing by the IDI-MRSA assay directly with the MSSA isolates confirmed the original positive PCR result. The positive predictive value of ...

On account of the low sensitivity and positive predictive value in a hospital patient population with moderate prevalence of MRSA , culture still appears to be necessary in order to confirm polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results. The emergence of new SCC mec variants and the presence of MSSA ...
Results: The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of this platform for identification of Gram-positive cocci species were 86.7% (65/75), 94.5% (69/73), 94.2% (65/69) and 87.3% (69/79), respectively. For vancomycin-r...
