Optimization of a laboratory-developed test utilizing roche analyte-specific reagents for detection of Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus species
Abstract
Nasal and perianal swab specimens were tested for detection of Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus species (VRE) using a laboratory-developed real-time PCR test and microbiological cultures. The real-time PCR and culture results for S. aureus were similar. PCR had adequate sensitivity, but culture was more specific for the detection of VRE.
