New Real-Time PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Methicillin- Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Directly from Specimens Containing a Mixture of Staphylococci

Molecular methods for the rapid identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are generally based on the detection of an S. aureus-specific gene target and the mecA gene. However, such methods cannot be applied for the direct detection of MRSA from nonsterile specimens such as...
