We describe a calorimetric assay for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) within 5 h. Microbial heat was calculated in culture with and without cefoxitin. Among 30 genetically distinct clinical isolates, 19/20 MRSA (95%) and 10/10 methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (100%) were correctly identified. Microcalorimetry may be useful for rapid MRSA screening.
我们描述了一种在5小时内检测耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的量热测定法。在有和没有头孢西丁的培养物中计算微生物产热。在30株基因不同的临床分离株中,19/20株MRSA(95%)和10/10株甲氧西林敏感金黄色葡萄球菌(100%)被正确鉴定。微量量热法可能有助于快速筛查MRSA。
