Influence of broth enrichment as well as storage and transport time on the sensitivity of MRSA surveillance in the tropics

Direct growth on blood and screening agar for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at a tropical surveillance site was compared with broth enrichment and subsequent growth on selective MRSA agar after international sample transport. In Madagascar, 1548 swabs from an MRSA surveillanc...
