| description | Detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA in isolates or clinical specimens by molecular methods. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Cephid Xpert MRSA/SA Skin and Soft Tissue Infection Assay (Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI Assay), which is indicated for use in conjunction with other laboratory tests to aid in the detection of MRSA/SA. | |
| status | ACTIVE | |

| component | Staphylococcus aureus & Staphylococcus aureus.methicillin resistant | |
| property | Prid = Presence or identity: Prid stands for “Presence or identity”, is used for assays that detect whether or not an analyte of a particular kind is present, and if it is, to identify the specific analyte. | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |
| system | Isolate/Specimen | |
| scale | Nom = Nominal: Nominal or categorical responses that do not have a natural ordering. (e.g., names of bacteria, reported as answers, categories of appearance that do not have a natural ordering, such as, yellow, clear, bloody. | |
| method | Molgen = Molecular Genetics: General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods. | |
