Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) poses an infection risk for international military deployments. In the presented mini-review, the history of MRSA in the medical service and modern warfare is highlighted. To allow rapid diagnosis, various molecular diagnostic point-of-care solutions are available. Most evaluation studies, however, are focused on screening swabs rather than clinical materials and evaluation data from harsh environments are widely lacking. Accordingly, studies with complex sample materials under difficult environmental conditions, e.g., in the desert or in the tropics, are desirable to close this gap of knowledge regarding the diagnostic reliability of such modern molecular point-of-care devices.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）对国际军事部署构成感染风险。在本综述中，重点介绍了MRSA在医疗服务和现代战争中的历史。为实现快速诊断，有多种分子诊断即时检测解决方案可供使用。然而，大多数评估研究都集中在筛查拭子而非临床材料上，并且广泛缺乏来自恶劣环境的评估数据。因此，需要在困难环境条件下，例如在沙漠或热带地区，使用复杂样本材料进行研究，以填补关于此类现代分子即时检测设备诊断可靠性的知识空白。
