Qualitative real time PCR

Normal range: Nondetected. This assay can be performed from animal or environmental samples. This test differentiates methicillin-resistant from non-methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus. NOTE: studies have shown that resistance to methicillin is due to the presence of the mec A gene. While almost all methicillin resistant S. aureus bacteria carry the mec A gene, this gene has also been reported in some other coagulase-positive and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates and other bacteria. PCR detection of the mec A gene is a rapid way of confirming methicillin resistance and thus guides the treatment regimen, but culture detection may also be needed if differentiation of S. aureus from other species is necessary in addition to detection of methicillin resistance.
