The Need
- Surgical-site infections (SSIs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality1
- S. aureus is one of the most common pathogens responsible for SSIs2
- SSIs caused by MRSA lead to worse clinical outcomes vs less resistant pathogens2
- The use of inappropriate initial antibiotic treatment can be associated with adverse clinical outcomes and increased length of stay3

The Solution
The Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI test is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test intended for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from skin and soft tissue infection swabs
- Laboratory efficiencies with on-demand workflows requiring minimal hands-on time
- Optimized therapy to support improved patient outcomes and reduced empirical prescribing
The Impact
- Rapid detection enables more targeted antibiotic selection4
- Improved patient management with appropriate antimicrobial therapy5
- Significantly reduced time to result compared to culture methods5
