We evaluated the reliability of Staphaurex (Wellcome Diagnostics, Dartford, England) for the direct identification of staphylococci from blood culture broth with evidence of positivity and a suggestive Gram-stained smear. Our evaluation indicates that this application is of limited sensitivity, thus reducing the value of a negative test. However, since the test is highly specific, a positive test is significant in predicting the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus.
我们评估了用于直接鉴定血培养肉汤中葡萄球菌的“葡萄球菌快速检测试剂盒”（英国达特福德惠康诊断公司生产）的可靠性，这些血培养肉汤呈现阳性迹象且革兰氏染色涂片显示有提示意义。我们的评估表明，该检测方法的敏感性有限，因此阴性检测结果的价值降低。然而，由于该检测具有高度特异性，阳性检测结果对于预测金黄色葡萄球菌的分离具有重要意义。
