Laboratory

Staphylococcus aureus methicillin resistance SCCmec+orfX junction [Presence] in Nose by NAA with probe detection

Definition

This assay is not intended to diagnose MRSA infections nor to guide or monitor treatment. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's BD GeneOhm MRSA Assay test kit which directly detects, through the presence of SCCmec cassette at the orfX junction, nasal colonization by methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) to aid in the prevention and control of infections in healthcare settings, for patients at risk.
