MRSA Latex Test for PBP2', a latex slide agglutination test for the detectiThe MRSA Latex Agglutination Kit detects Penicillin Binding Protein 2’ (PBP2’) in isolates of Staphylococcus spp

The kit includes extraction reagents; stirrers; slides; and control latex, which rules out false positives due to auto-agglutination. Positive and negative controls are required but not included in the kit. Simple procedure involves heating in either a water bath or heat block and centrifugation.on of penicillin binding protein 2' from isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus spp.

This assists in the identification of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin Resistant coagulase negative staphylococci. PBP2’ is coded by the mecA gene and is present in the membranes of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus spp. The latex particles are coated with antibodies specific for the PBP2’ protein. This is a highly specific and sensitive test that has been successfully used around the world for several years.
