Abstract
ABSTRACT
To select a method for detecting methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) in nasal swabs, we compared BD GeneOhm MRSA PCR and various culture media (mannitol salt agar with cefoxitin, MRSA
Select
, CHROMagar MRSA, and Spectra MRSA). While PCR detection of MRSA was more rapid, MRSA
Select
and Spectra MRSA demonstrated performance equivalent to that of PCR with maximal detection at 24 h.
