Laboratory diagnosis and assays of antimicrobial susceptibility are basic in controlling and preventing infection by MRSA. Our study was conducted for one year (May 2008-April 2009) on patients hospitalized to monitor the eventual colonization by MRSA.The use of chromogenic agar MRSA allowed us to identify pink-mauve colonies of MRSA within 24 hours and to make a timely e careful diagnosis.}, number={4}, journal={Microbiologia Medica}, author={Corsi, Gabriella and Raddi, Adriana and Labonia, Francesco and Raffone, Marcello and Bernardo, Mariano and Luongo, Mariarosaria and Falco, Erasmo and Smeraglia, Riccardo}, year={2009}, month={Dec.} }
