Rapid MRSA detection via tandem mass spectrometry of the intact 80 kDa PBP2a resistance protein
Abstract Treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections is dependent on the detection of specific bacterial genes or proteins in clinical assays. Identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is often accomplished through the detection of penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a). W...
