A 100% reliable test for Staphylococcal Penicillinase detection published at the RICAI Congress

The results from the Pr. Frédéric Laurent’s team (National Reference Center for Staphylococci) have been published at the 46th "Réunion Interdisciplinaire de Chimiothérapie Anti-Infectieuse" (RICAI) in Paris in december 2024.

The poster shows that the MOLSID biotracer demonstrates 100% sensitivity and specificity for the detection of beta-lactamase activity, both in S. aureus and in other staphylococcal species encountered in clinical practice, whatever the beta-lactamase type.

This is the only reliable phenotypic test available on the market that can solve any ambiguity regarding the presence of active penicillinase in methicillin-sensitive staphylococci, in addition to the antibiogram.
