Impact of an Automated Plate Reader for MRSA and Urine Chromogenic Culture Plates
The low prevalence (~1% in UK) of MRSA colonisation means much time is spent reading and reporting negative culture plates. Similarly, a large proportion of urine cultures yield no significant bacterial growth. As such, a large amount of scientist time...
