Zambardi, J. Fleurette, G. Schito, R. Auckenthaler, E. Bergogne-Berezin, R. Hone, A. King, W. Lenz, C. Lohner, A. Makristhatis, F. Marco, C. Müller-Serieys, C. Nonhoff, I. Phillips, P. Rohner, M. Rotter, K. Schaal, M. Struelens, A. Viebahn] A commercial system for the rapid detection of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus, the BBL Crystal MRSA test (C-MRSA ID; Becton Dickinson, USA), was evaluated prospectively and compared with a polymerase chain reaction test for the presence of themecA gene. Ten European centres tested a total of 676 isolates ofStaphylococcus aureus from blood cultures. The system correctly identified 661 (97.8%) isolates within 4 h. All but threemecA gene-negative isolates (99.4% specificity) yielded a negative C-MRSA ID reaction, and 158 of 170mecA gene-positive isolates were accurately detected (92.9% sensitivity). After repeated testing of discrepant results, sensitivity and specificity increased to 99% and 100%, respectively. MMV Medizin Verlag GmbH, 1996 Zambardi G.
