LOINC description : The detection of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus species (MRSA), MSSA (methicillin-sensitive
Staphylococcus aureus) and/or CoNS (Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus) in isolates
or clinical specimens, such as nasal/throat, wound, groin and perineum swabs. This
term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Bosch Vivalytic MRSA assay, a
multiplex real-time PCR used for the detection MRSA/SA infections in healthcare settings.
This MRSA assay is based on qualitative detection of nucleic acids targets in the
SCCmec/orfX junction, mecA & mecC genes, and S. aureus-specific gene targets, such
as SA442 or spa genes.;
