The Panther Fusion MRSA assay is designed for the qualitative detection and differentiation of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA from nasal swabs in patients at risk for nasal colonization. It is intended to aid in the prevention and control of SA and MRSA infections in healthcare settings.
The Panther Fusion MRSA assay allows for direct loading of ESwab nasal samples on the Panther Fusion system. It has broad strain inclusivity, including the Bengal Bay clone. It also correctly identifies empty cassette variants.1
