High frequency of occupied attB regions in Norwegian Staphylococcus aureus isolates supports a two-step MRSA screening algorithm

Rapid nucleic acid amplification tests for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) diagnostics commonly target the mec resistance gene, genes specific for S. aureus , and the integration site for the SCC mec resistance cassette, orfX . Due to poor specificity when these target genes are u...
