A total of 445 blood cultures containing Gram-positive cocci in clusters were tested for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus with the Accuprobe, heat-stable thermonuclease, and latex agglutination using Staphaurex. The results show that the Accuprobe, thermonuclease, and Staphaurex correctly identified 95, 96, and 62 of the 100 specimens containing S. aureus. The corresponding specificity for the methods was 99.1%, 100%, and 98.5%, respectively.
总共445份含有成簇革兰氏阳性球菌的血培养物,使用Accuprobe、热稳定热核酸酶和乳胶凝集试验(使用Staphaurex)检测金黄色葡萄球菌的存在。结果显示,Accuprobe、热核酸酶和Staphaurex分别正确鉴定出100份含有金黄色葡萄球菌的标本中的95份、96份和62份。这些方法相应的特异性分别为99.1%、100%和98.5%。
