Abstract:
The BD GeneOhm MRSA assay could identify methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains at a high ratio (97.8%). Analysis of 11 assay-negative MRSA strains suggested that insertion of non- mec staphylococcal cassette chromosome elements (SCCs) downstream of orfX , and carriage of SCC mec s with a left extremity that cannot be detected by the kit, might lead to their being given an incorrect negative status.
