Direct Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in Sputum Specimens from Patients with Hospital-Associated Pneumonia Using a Novel Multilocus Pcr Assay
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant cause of hospital-associated pneumonia (HAP). The rapid identification of MRSA would be beneficial for early diagnosis. The study aimed to evaluate a multilocus, fluorescence-based PCR assay based on the detection of mecA and nuc...
