Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is the cause of serious infections in humans, including endocarditis, deep-seated abscesses, and bacteremia, which lead to toxic and septic shock syndromes. Rapid and direct identification of this bacterium specifically and ubiquitously directly from clinical specimens would be useful in improving the diagnosis of S. aureus infections in the clinical microbiology laboratory. A wide variety of kits based on biochemical characteristics efficiently identify S. aureus, but the rapidity and the accuracy of each of these methods combined with testing of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes need to be improved. On the basis of hybridization assays with randomly selected clones from an S. aureus genomic library, we have identified a chromosomal DNA fragment which is specific for S. aureus and which detected all 82 S. aureus isolates tested. This 442-bp fragment was sequenced and was used to design a set of PCR amplification primers. The PCR assay was also specific and ubiquitous for the identification from bacterial cultures of 195 clinical strains of S. aureus isolated from a variety of anatomical sites and obtained from hospitals throughout the world. The PCR assay that we have developed is simple and can be performed in about 1 h. This DNA-based test provides a novel diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of S. aureus infections.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
