Description

Description

Automated qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the rapid detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) DNA and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA from nasal swabs in patients at risk for nasal colonization. The test utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of specific DNA targets and fluorogenic target specific hybridization probes to detect and differentiate MRSA and SA DNA: specific amplicon in the SCCmec right-extremity junction (MREJ), the genes for methicillin resistance mecA and mecC, the gene nuc encoding a thermostable nuclease of S. aureus. The StaphSR Assay is intended to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA and SA in site surgical infections (SSIs).

  • Detects MRSA strains with the novel mecC cassette and new MREJ types, mecA dropouts that can cause MRSA false positives
  • Performed on BD MAX™ System
  • Enables effective prevention strategies that can reduce SSIs by up to 60%
  • Can help both reduce the cost impact of SSIs and avoid re-admissions to hospital
  • Promotes effective antibiotic management through targeted use of mupirocin and can avoid costly vancomycin infusions in OR
  • Combine StaphSR testing in the same run as MRSA, Cdiff and other assays
  • Results in about 2 hours, compared to 2-4 days for culture
  • Takes less than 1 minute of hands-on time per specimen
