Abstract

The automated plate assessment system (APAS Independence; Clever Culture System, Bäch, Switzerland) is an automated imaging station linked with interpretive software that detects target colonies of interest on chromogenic media and sorts samples as negative or presumptive positive. We evaluated the accuracy of the APAS to triage methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and S. aureus cultures using chromogenic medium compared to that by human interpretation.
