Impact of a Short Period of Pre-Enrichment on Detection and Bacterial Loads of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Screening Specimens

We compared the impacts of direct plating on a chromogenic medium and of plating after enrichment (4 h and overnight) on the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from 52 patient screening samples. MRSA colony counts for ≈70% of samples after overnight pre-enrichment were &...
