We compared 2 chromogenic media (Oxoid Brilliance MRSA 2 agar [Thermo Fisher Scientific] and MRSA-ID [bioMérieux]) for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 1,368 hospital samples. For both media, broth enrichment was essential to obtain satisfactory diagnostic performance. Although with direct cultures only, the diagnostic performance (particularly sensitivity) of Brilliance MRSA 2 agar appears better than that of MRSA-ID, no difference in sensitivity or specificity between the media was detected after inclusion of an enrichment step.
我们比较了两种显色培养基(Oxoid Brilliance MRSA 2 琼脂[赛默飞世尔科技]和 MRSA-ID[生物梅里埃])用于检测 1368 份医院样本中的耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)。对于这两种培养基,肉汤增菌对于获得满意的诊断性能都是必不可少的。虽然仅使用直接培养,但是 Brilliance MRSA 2 琼脂的诊断性能(特别是敏感性)似乎优于 MRSA-ID,但是在加入增菌步骤后,两种培养基之间的敏感性或特异性没有差异。
