CRISPR-Based Diagnostic Assay for Point-of-Care Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in patients with Bloodstream Infections
Acs Sensors
A prospective multicenter clinical evaluation demonstrating 100% sensitivity for S. aureus detection in 350 patients with suspected bacteremia, but limited by small MRSA case numbers (n=8) and lack of specificity data, requiring confirmation in larger MRSA-enriched cohorts before clinical implementation.
