Evaluation of GeneXpert® system for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus in clinical samples

Evaluation of GeneXpert® system for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus in clinical samples

Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus strains (MRSA) have reached epidemic proportions globally, being the major cause of nosocomial infections. Rapid identification of MRSA in nasal swabs or in clinical samples is considered a useful strategy for control and treatment of...
