The determination of antimicrobial susceptibility of a clinical isolate, especially with
increasing resistance, is often crucial for the optimal antimicrobial therapy of infected …

These evidence-based guidelines have been produced after a literature review of the
laboratory diagnosis and susceptibility testing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus …

This work reports a novel electrochemical immunoassay protocol with signal amplification
for determination of proteins (human IgG here used as a model target analyte) at an ultralow …

ABSTRACT A rapid procedure was developed for detection and identification of methicillin-
resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) directly from sterile sites or mixed flora samples …

ABSTRACT A duplex LightCycler PCR assay targeting the mecA gene and a
Staphylococcus aureus-specific marker was used to test 165 S. aureus strains and 80 …

ABSTRACT A PCR identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),
obviating the need for subculture on agar media, was investigated. The combination of …

In this work, we describe a multiplex PCR assay for the detection of clinically relevant
antibiotic resistance genes harbored by some Staphylococcus aureus isolates and for the …

ABSTRACT The probe-based Velogene Rapid MRSA Identification Assay (ID Biomedical
Corp., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) and the latex agglutination MRSA-Screen …

The PCR is the most sensitive of the existing rapid methods to detect microbial pathogens in
clinical specimens. In particular, when specific pathogens that are difficult to culture in vitro …

ABSTRACT A triplex PCR targeting the 16S rRNA, mecA, and nuc genes was developed for
identification of staphylococci and detection of methicillin resistance. After validation of the …
