Case Studies in Microbiology - LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans Daptomycin was the first approved antibiotic in the new class of lipopeptides and exhibits broad spectrum activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA and extensively-resistant strains, such as Vancomycin-intermediate S aureus (VISA) and Vancomycin-resistant S aureus (VRSA), and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)
Comparison of the MALDI Biotyper System Using Sepsityper Specimen . . . We compared the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) Biotyper system with Sepsityper specimen processing (Bruker Daltonics, Billerica, MA) to routine methods for the identification of microorganisms from 164 positive blood cultures

Value of Xpert MRSA SA blood culture assay on the Gene Xpert The GeneXpert ® MRSA SA BC assay (Cepheid) is a real-time PCR-based method that can identify S aureus and methicillin-resistant blood cultures with GPCCL with a positive signal in approximately 50 min using an automated blood culture instrument (Cepheid, 2008)
Comparison of Streaking Patterns, Plating Consistency, and Isolation of . . . Numerous publication have demonstrated that automatic plating creates more consistent streaking patterns and isolates more bacteria than manual plating; however, it is unclear what streaking patterns, systems, and plates are optimal for v culture
