Molecular detection of Staphylococcus aureus in urine in patients with S. aureus bacteremia: an exploratory study
NAAT from urine has a higher sensitivity than culture in patients with SAB and could potentially identify cases with increased risk for SAB. Future studies should investigate whether this characteristic could translate into a clinical benefit through rapid detection of SAB.
