MRSA/SA ELITe MGB™ is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for the direct detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA purified from nasal swabs. MRSA/SA ELITe MGB™ is intended to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings. It is not intended to diagnose MRSA infections or to guide or monitor treatment for MRSA infections. A negative result does not preclude MRSA/SA nasal colonization. Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for epidemiological typing or for further susceptibility testing.
