1. What is Xpert® MRSA NxG test intended for?
Xpert MRSA NxG is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test intended for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA directly from nasal swabs in patients at risk for nasal colonization.1
2. How is the Xpert® MRSA NxG test performed?
2. How is the Xpert® MRSA NxG test performed?
Xpert® MRSA NxG utilizes automated real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of MRSA specific DNA targets and fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes for the real-time detection of the amplified DNA. The Xpert MRSA NxG test is intended to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings. 1
3. Is the Xpert MRSA NxG test intended to diagnose MRSA infections?
3. Is the Xpert MRSA NxG test intended to diagnose MRSA infections?
The Xpert MRSA NxG test is not intended to diagnose, guide, or monitor treatment for MRSA infections, or provide results of susceptibility to methicillin. A negative result does not preclude MRSA nasal colonization. Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for epidemiological typing or for further susceptibility testing. 1
