Direct detection of human Staphylococcus aureus carriage in the nose using the Lightcycler Staphylococcus kit.

Direct detection of human Staphylococcus aureus carriage in the nose using the Lightcycler Staphylococcus kit.

The Lightcycler Staphylococcus kit is a diagnostic tool for direct real-time detection of Staphylococcus aureus in clinical materials. We show here that detection of S. aureus nasal carriage using this test is hampered by competition of DNA from coagulase-negative staphylococci. However the test is...
