Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of healthcare- and community-associated infections, including skin infections, pneumonia, and bloodstream infections. Due to its resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, rapid and accurate detection is essential for infection control and antimicrobial stewardship.
MRSA PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology offer a sensitive and specific method for detecting mecA and Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase gene, and S. aureus DNA and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp. DNA in human samples. Please note that kits related to non-MRSA Staphylococcus species can be found in its own category. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked formats for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays can be used for MRSA diagnostics as well as support diverse workflows, including hospital screening, surveillance programs, and antimicrobial resistance studies from clinical samples.
