Same-day Detection of Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus Isolates by StaResMet® Kit

Abstract: Background: Staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of hospital-acquired infections. The most important issue with S. aureus is that the isolates are getting increasingly methicillin-resistant. Rapid differentiation between methicillin-resistant and methicillinsusceptible S. aureus species is necessary to optimize treatment and minimize costs. Objectives: The current study aimed at evaluating the StaResMet® kit for rapid detection of methicillin resistance in S. aureus isolates. Methods: A total of 217 met… Show more

“…Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) isolates were tested, and the MRSA and MSSA isolates were identified with 100% accuracy. The StaResMet ® kit detects MRSA isolates quickly and reliably and could be a valuable option for microbiology laboratories with limited resources (23).…”
