Rapid PCR-based identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from screening swabs.

D Jonas1, M Speck, F D Daschner, H Grundmann.   

Abstract

A PCR identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), obviating the need for subculture on agar media, was investigated. The combination of MRSA detection by mecA femB PCR with prior enrichment in selective broth was tested for 439 swabs. PCR identified 36 MRSA-positive samples, in concordance with conventional methods.
