The Need

Control of MRSA in healthcare settings requires rapid and accurate tests to detect colonized patients.
  • Approximately 171,200 healthcare-associated MRSA infections are acquired annually in the European Union (EU), resulting in 5,400 attributable deaths, more than 1 million excess days of hospitalization and €380 million in excess in-hospital costs1
  • Between 2 and 53 million people are estimated to carry MRSA worldwide2
  • The average length of stay (LOS) for all MRSA patients in the EU is 11.5 days with an average attributable cost of €7,478 per patient3

The Solution

Xpert® MRSA NxG is an accurate, fast, on-demand PCR test that will help to:
  • Optimize the effectiveness of your infection control program and guide the judicious use of barrier precautions
  • Guide decolonization practices that reduce infection rates and decrease MRSA transmission
  • Help decrease LOS and improve patient and bed management
  • Help reduce infection control costs by limiting unnecessary use of isolation rooms and improve clinical outcomes
  • Detect the presence of MRSA by targeting both the orfX SCCmec junction and the mecA or mecC genes for a more accurate MRSA detection
  • Improve antibiotic stewardship by avoiding unnecessary

The Impact

Xpert MRSA NxG is an accurate, fast, on-demand PCR test that provides actionable results in about an hour.
Shift your lab from reactive to proactive
  • Rapidly identify MRSA colonized patients that require contact precautions to reduce the risk of transmission and avoid costly outbreaks
  • Improve overall patient safety by reducing the risk of MRSA infection
According to a published German study, implementation of a rapid MRSA screening surveillance program can achieve the following results4
  • Decreased infection rate 50%
  • Reduced cost 58%
  • Total hospital savings € 408,894 in average per year
