Have ever had a loved one get MRSA in the hospital while being admitted for something else? I have, the gowns gloves and mask goes on. It sucks.
Great Basin’s Staph ID/R Blood Culture Panel is a sample-to-result, automated, DNA multiplex assay for simultaneous identification of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus species directly from positive blood cultures in about 2 hours. The panel also detects the mecA gene, a major drug resistance marker that confers resistance to methicillin and other beta-lactams and creates the superbug MRSA. The assay workflow maintains Great Basin’s dedication to ease of use with less than one minute of hands-on time and no results interpretation due to the electronic results reporting.
The multiplex panel is run on the Great Basin Analyzer, which also performs the company’s commercially available low-plex tests for Clostridium difficile (C. diff) and Group B Streptococcus(GBS), as well as the company’s stand-alone molecular test for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli(STEC) detection.
