Description

The Staphylococcus aureus capsular polysaccharide enzyme (cpe) gene identifies the presence of Staph aureus (SA) regardless of antibiotic resistance. The SCCmec cassette-orfX junction (also called the SCCmec cassette right extremity junction region) is a nucleic acid target that specifically identifies methicillin-resistant SA (MRSA). These two tests can be used together to distinguish the presence of SA from MRSA. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
