Excellent product, simple to use, easy to interpret.
Rapid MRSA determination
One of the easiest kit tests we use in the lab. Currently we are performing this test on SA colonies from blood cultures/sterile sites, and nasal MRSA screening. PBP results match almost perfectly with other testing methods used. While I would personally prefer a same day rapid test to use for our nasal MRSA screening, finances side with the culture/PBP test in our patient payer mix.

The new Alere™ PBP2a SA Culture Colony Test is a rapid immuno-chromatographic assay that uses monoclonal antibodies to assist in the detection of MRSA directly from bacterial isolates in five minutes. In a U.S. study, results were available at least one day sooner than standard antimicrobial susceptibility tests, and were used to effectively modify and improve treatment regimens for patients with S. aureus infections.
