Parente DM, et al. - Researchers performed this meta-analysis to ascertain the diagnostic value of MRSA nasal screening in MRSA pneumonia. For ruling out MRSA pneumonia, nares screening for MRSA had a high specificity and negative (NPV) predictive value, this was particularly observed in cases of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)/healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP). Based on the NPV, utilization of MRSA nares screening was a valuable tool for AMS to streamline empiric antibiotic therapy.
