Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) screening using real-time PCR has decreased in sensitivity due to the emergence of variant staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element (SCCmec) types. We have designed and validated a novel SCCmec XI primer, which enables for the first time the rapid detection of mecC-harboring MRSA directly from nasopharyngeal swabs without prior cultivation.
由于新型葡萄球菌盒式染色体mec元件(SCCmec)类型的出现,使用实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)进行耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)筛查的灵敏度有所下降。我们设计并验证了一种新型的SCCmec XI引物,首次实现了直接从鼻咽拭子中快速检测携带mecC的MRSA,无需事先培养。
