Comparison of the Xpert Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Assay, BD GeneOhm MRSA Assay, and Culture for Detection of Nasal and Cutaneous Groin Colonization by MRSA

Detection of methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization was assessed using combined nose and groin swabs in two commercial PCR assays (the Xpert MRSA assay and the BD GeneOhm MRSA assay). Compared to routine culture, both had similar sensitivities (87.0% versus 84.8%, resp...
