Background: MRSA or "Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus" has become a healthcareissue around the world. Over the last few years, MRSA infections has increased in 520 casesand become more common in society, causing a life threating infection and healthcareproblem. In order to avoid spreading of MRSA between patients in hospitals, specific analysisare necessary to monitor the bacteria.Aim: The purpose of the project was to validate NxG-kit in GeneXpert-instruments toverify and compare this kit to the Nasal Complete kit and to SYBR-Green based on in-housereal-time PCR. This comparison was made to see if NxG-kits can detect the SCCmec carryingMRSA's mecA and mecC-gene to replace in-house PCR and Nasal Complete-kits with NxGkits.Material and methods: In this project, some analyses such as in-house real time PCR andGeneXpert systems were performed using patient’s samples from different locations includingsome strains to detect specific genes in MRSA at the microbiology laboratory (Unilabs) inStockholm.Result: The result of the analysis performed with NxG-kit in GeneXpert-instruments hasmore potential to detect of positive MRSA samples compared to Nasal Complete-kit and inhousePCR.Conclusion: NxG-kit could easily detect the presence of MRSA because the kit targetsSCCmec carrying mecA- or mecC-gene in the orfX-gene, which provides accurate and rapidMRSA detection.
