The Need

  • Surgical-site infections (SSIs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality1
  • S. aureus is one of the most common pathogens responsible for SSIs2
  • SSIs caused by MRSA lead to worse clinical outcomes    vs less resistant pathogens2
  • The use of inappropriate initial antibiotic treatment can be associated with adverse clinical outcomes and increased length of stay3

The Solution

The Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI test is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test intended for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from skin and soft tissue infection swabs

  • Laboratory efficiencies with on-demand workflows requiring minimal hands-on time
  • Optimized therapy to support improved patient outcomes and reduced empirical prescribing

The Impact

  • Rapid detection enables more targeted antibiotic selection4
  • Improved patient management with appropriate antimicrobial therapy5
  • Significantly reduced time to result compared to culture methods5
