MRSASelect is a selective and differential chromogenic medium for the qualitative detection of nasal colonization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings. The test can be performed on anterior nares specimens from patients and healthcare workers to screen for MRSA colonization. MRSASelect is not intended to diagnose MRSA infection nor to guide or monitor treatment of infection. Results can be interpreted after 18 - 28 hours incubation.
Device Story
MRSASelect is a selective and differential chromogenic culture medium used in healthcare settings to screen for nasal MRSA colonization. It utilizes an antibiotic/antifungal mixture and optimized salt concentrations to inhibit non-MRSA organisms; a chromogenic substrate is cleaved by specific S. aureus enzymatic activity to produce pink colonies. The device is inoculated with anterior nares swabs; results are interpreted visually by laboratory personnel after 18-28 hours of incubation. The output (presence of pink colonies) aids infection control programs by identifying colonized individuals. It does not diagnose active infection or guide therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance was evaluated at two sites using 200 fresh nasal swabs compared to routine culture (Blood Agar, Coagulase, E-Test). Results were consistent across 18, 20, 24, and 28-hour incubation periods. Sensitivity was 100% and specificity was 98% at all time points. Discordant samples were confirmed positive via PCR. Data supports the extended incubation window.
Technological Characteristics
Selective/differential chromogenic culture medium. Contains antibiotic/antifungal mixture and optimized salt concentration for selective growth. Employs chromogenic substrate for enzymatic identification of S. aureus. Form factor: culture plate. Incubation: 35-37°C, ambient conditions. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of nasal MRSA colonization in patients and healthcare workers to aid in infection control. Not for diagnosing active MRSA infection or guiding/monitoring treatment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A culture medium for antimicrobial susceptibility tests is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of any medium capable of supporting the growth of many of the bacterial pathogens that are subject to antimicrobial susceptibility tests. The medium should be free of components known to be antagonistic to the common agents for which susceptibility tests are performed in the treatment of disease.

### PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of nosocomial and life threatening infections which have been associated with significantly higher rates of mortality and morbidity.
The Bio-Rad MRSASelect is a selective and differential chromogenic culture medium for the qualitative detection of MRSA from anterior nares specimens. Results can be interpreted after 18 - 28 hours incubation.

### INTENDED USE:
MRSASelect is a selective and differential chromogenic medium for the qualitative detection of nasal colonization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to aid in the prevention and control of MRSA infections in healthcare settings. The test can be performed on anterior nares specimens from patients and healthcare workers to screen for MRSA colonization. MRSASelect is not intended to diagnose MRSA infection nor to guide or monitor treatment of infection. Results can be interpreted after 18 - 28 hours incubation.
# SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY:
MRSASelect is a selective medium for the detection and direct identification of MRSA. The selectivity of this medium is based on the presence of an antibiotic/antifungal mixture and an optimized salt concentration and that inhibits the growth of yeast and the majority of Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria with the exception of methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Identification is based on the cleavage of a chromogenic substrate by a specific enzymatic activity of Staphylococcus aureus leading to a strong pink coloration of the Staphylococcus aureus colonies.
Within 18 - 28 hours incubation time methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus produce small pink colonies on MRSASelect. Coagulase negative methicillin-resistant staphylococci that do not metabolize the chromogenic substrate appear as colorless or white colonies (possibly light pink). Methicillin sensitive staphylococci (MSS) are inhibited.
# PERFORMANCE DATA:
Performance of MRSASelect Extended Incubation was evaluated at two geographically diverse hospitals with fresh anterior nares surveillance specimens. A total of 200 surveillance samples were evaluated. MRSA on routine culture was defined as isolation of Staphylococci on Trypticase Soy Agar with 5% blood, with identification confirmed by coagulase and Oxacillin susceptibility using E-Test. MRSASelect plates were incubated at 35 - 37ºC at ambient conditions. Plates were read after 18, 20, 24, 28 hours incubation. No difference in performance was noted at the defined incubation times.
{3}------------------------------------------------
#### Summary Performance Data
A total of 200 samples were tested at two sites against routine culture (blood agar plate, coagulase and susceptibility), and MRSASelect. MRSASelect plates were read and results read at 18, 20, 24 and 28 hours incubation.
