英国Acolyte公司研制成功MRSA快速检测方法

一种新型甲氧苯青霉素耐药性金黄色葡萄球菌的微生物检测方法只需要5个小时就可以提供检测结果。

快速检测就意味着能够快速隔离这种细菌的携带者，从而防止感染的传播。快速诊断同时提高了治疗效果。这种快速甲氧苯青霉素耐药性金黄色葡萄球菌检测方法叫做BacLite，被设计用于帮助英国政府达到这个目标：即2008年将这种甲氧苯青霉素耐药性金黄色葡萄球菌的水平减少50％。

这种检测方法由Acolyte生物医学公司研制，是根据国防科学技术实验室开发的新型快速检测技术开发的，这个实验室是英国国防部的一个机构。BacLite甲氧苯青霉素耐药性金黄色葡萄球菌检测是一种以设备为基础的、用于快速而经济的筛查发病率最高的院内获得性感染的系统。在英国这项检测系统由Bio-Stat公司经销的。

Rapid New Test for MRSA
 
A new microbiology test for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) provides results in only five hours.

A fast test means that carriers of the bacterium can be isolated quickly, thereby preventing the spread of infection. Rapid diagnosis also improves the efficacy of treatment. Called BacLite, this rapid MRSA test is designed to help the UK government reach its stated target of a 50% reduction in MRSA levels by 2008.

The test was developed by Acolyte Biomedica (Porton Down, UK) and is based on new rapid technologoy developed by the Defense Science and Technology Laboratories, an agency of the UK Ministry of Defense. BacLite MRSA is an instrument-based system for rapid and cost-effective screening of the most prevalent hospital-acquired infection. The test is to be distributed in the United Kingdom by Bio-Stat Ltd. (Stockport, UK).
