DOI: 10.1007/s40121-022-00632-w

Abstract: Rapid identification of the causal organism and antibiotic resistance is crucial for guiding targeted therapy in patients with suspected staphylococcal infection. A meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic relevance of Xpert™ MRSA/SA (Xpert)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mimet.2018.12.004

Abstract: BACKGROUND Pathogen detection in pediatric patients with musculoskeletal infections relies on conventional bacterial culture, which is slow and can delay antimicrobial optimization. The ability to rapidly identify causative agents and antimicrobial resistance genes in these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ajcp/aqaf121.344

Abstract: Prompt identification of MRSA/MSSA from bacteremia patients allows clinicians to adjust the need of vancomycin, that can cause acute kidney injury. Direct disk diffusion testing with cefoxitin (Cef-dDD) is a promising alternative for MRSA/MSSA detection… read more here.

DOI: 10.2807/1560-7917.es.2021.26.37.2100800

Abstract: We describe two false-negative results in the detection of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) of sequence type 398 and spa type t011 using the Cepheid Xpert MRSA NxG assay. The isolates were recovered in late February… read more here.
