Abstract
A method for detecting the presence or absence of an antibiotic resistant pathogenic staphylococci in a test sample is provided. The method includes the steps of: a) providing a test medium having at least one hydrolysable substrate, which substrate is operable to promote the growth of the antibiotic resistant pathogenic staphylococci and to produce a detectable signal when the hydrolyzable substrate is metabolized by the antibiotic resistant pathogenic staphylococci; b) forming a mixture of the test sample and hydrated test medium; c) incubating the mixture at temperatures in the range of about 20° C. to about 35° C.; and d) detecting the presence or absence of the antibiotic resistant pathogenic staphylococci in the test sample by the presence or absence of the detectable signal in the mixture.
