3. What is the indicated use for the Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture test?
The Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture test is indicated for use in conjunction with other laboratory tests, such as culture, and clinical data available to the clinician as an aid in the detection of MRSA/SA from positive blood cultures. Subculturing of positive blood cultures is necessary to recover organisms for susceptibility testing or for epidemiological typing. The Cepheid Xpert MRSA/SA Blood Culture test is not intended to monitor treatment for MRSA/SA infections.1
4. What is Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and MRSA?
4. What is Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and MRSA?
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is a major nosocomial pathogen that causes a range of diseases including endocarditis, osteomyelitis, toxic shock syndrome, food poisoning, carbuncles and boils.1
In the early 1950s, acquisition and spread of beta-lactamase-producing plasmids thwarted the effectiveness of penicillin for treating SA infections. In 1959, methicillin, a semi-synthetic penicillin, was introduced and, soon after, methicillin-resistant SA (MRSA) strains were identified.1
