Compared to routine culture, both had similar sensitivities (87.0% versus 84.8%, respectively) and specificities (93.8% versus 92.7%, respectively). Combined PCR assays provide a rapid and more-complete assessment of colonization at a cost similar to that of single-site analysis. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10877 | DOI: | 10.1128/JCM.00303-09 | ORCID: | Journal: | Journal of Clinical Microbiology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19710260 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adolescent Adult Aged Aged, 80 and over Bacteriological Techniques.economics.methods Carrier State.microbiology Female Groin.microbiology Humans Male Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus.genetics.growth & development.isolation & purification Middle Aged Nasal Cavity.microbiology Polymerase Chain Reaction.economics.methods Sensitivity and Specificity Staphylococcal Infections.microbiology Time Factors Young Adult |
