Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) can colonize the nasal cavity without symptoms, contributing to transmission and the risk of subsequent infection. When resistant to methicillin and most other β-lactam antibiotics, it is known as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). MRSA remains an important focus of research into transmission and infection prevention in healthcare settings.
While conventional culture requires time for bacterial growth and subsequent identification, real-time PCR provides a molecular approach for investigating the presence of S. aureus and MRSA nucleic acids in nasal swab samples.

VitaSIRO solo™ – Molecular Testing at Your Fingertips.
The VitaSIRO solo™ MRSA/SA Assay is a qualitative real-time PCR assay designed for the simultaneous detection of S. aureus and MRSA DNA The assay incorporates an internal control to monitor assay performance and test validity, while utilizing lyophilized reagents to simplify storage and streamline the testing workflow.
Designed for nasal swab samples, the assay delivers molecular results in approximately 45 minutes through a simple “sample in, result out” workflow. Its application extends to research on MRSA screening and surveillance strategies, including studies related to infection prevention and control in healthcare settings.
