ABSTRACT

A commercially available method for the rapid detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (BBL Crystal MRSA ID System) was evaluated and compared with conventional methods. All 52 isolates of methicillin-susceptible and 142 isolates of intrinsic methicillin-resistant S. aureus were correctly identified in 4 h by the test method, whereas correct identification took 11 to 24 h by conventional methods. The test is simple, rapid, and easy to perform and the results are easy to interpret.
