摘要
We analyzed the cycle threshold (C-T) of PCR surveillance MRSA swabs obtained from veterans. Lower C-T on admission was associated with a positive culture from nasal swabs at discharge. Compared to PCR, direct plating of nasal swabs performed poorly, especially for patients with an elevated C-T. The C-T is strongly correlated with quantitative nasal cultures. Clinical and infection control applications of the C-T have yet to be defined and warrant further evaluation.
