The Need
SSTIs are a major health concern
- The most common cause of skin and soft tissue infections is Staph aureus; MRSA represents over 50% of these infections in parts of the U.S.1
- Current laboratory methods can take up to 72 hours to determine if a SSTI is SA or MRSA
- Empiric treatment, found to be incorrect in 57% of patients according to one study, is employed due to lack of a rapid identification method2
