Staphylococcus aureus:Methicillin‐SusceptibleS. aureusto Methicillin‐ResistantS. aureusand Vancomycin‐ResistantS. aureus [PDF]
The evolution of methicillin-resistant and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has demanded serious review of antimicrobial use and development of new agents and revised approaches to prevent and overcome drug resistance. Depending on local conditions and patient risk factors, empirical therapy of suspected S.

Evaluation of spa-typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using high-resolution melting analysis [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: spa-typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been widely used in clinical diagnostics and epidemiological studies. We aimed to evaluate high-resolution melting (HRM) as a rapid and cost effective method, to replace DNA ...

Evaluation and comparison of tests to detect methicillin resistant S. aureus
Phenotypic methods for detection of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been compared with the gold standard which, as of now, is by the detection of mecA gene and femA gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Discrepancies in detection have an adverse effect on patient management, thereby highlighting the importance of accuracy in ...

Identification of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant S. aureus in jail populations
Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of soft tissue and skin infection, but also causes pneumonia, endocarditis, and bone infection. The same infections can be caused by methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), but are much more difficult to treat because MRSA is highly resistant to antibiotics.
