bioMérieux said, the test which detects seven MRSA types, will support efficient batch processing of up to 46 MRSA screening tests in a compact space with a rapid turn-around time of only three hours.

NucliSENS EasyQ MRSA complements chromID MRSA, bioMérieux’s chromogenic media, which enables direct, color-specific visual observation of the bacterial colonies in patient samples.

The complete suite of bioMérieux MRSA solutions includes VITEK 2 for rapid identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing, Etest for extended dilution MICs (minimum inhibitory concentration) and DiversiLab for strain typing.
