Comparative assessment of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus diagnostic assays for use in resource-limited settings
Abstract
BackgroundThe rise of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global health concern. Paucity of data on MRSA carriage prevalence and diagnostic methods in resource-limited settings hampers efforts to define the problem and plan an appropriate response.
