○Staphylococcus aureus-related tests

TEST NAME	TESTING MATERIAL	CONTAINER	CAP COLOR	STORE TEMPERATURE (STABILITY)	METHODOLOGY	TURNAROUND TIME (DAY)
Coagulase typing	strain				neutralization reaction	4-6
Enterotoxin typing	strain				RPLA	4-6
TSST-1 production	strain				RPLA	4-6
POT method (Staphylococcus aureus)	strain				POT method A method of determining the genotype (POT type) of a bacterial strain by selecting ORFs (Open Reading Frames) that have different retention status for each bacterial strain and detecting their retention patterns using multiplex PCR. Comparison of POT types enables strain-level identification, and isolates obtained from outbreaks often have the same POT type.	14-21
Pulsed field (MRSA)（Suspended beyond orders placed 03-31-2023）	strain				Pulsed field gel electrophoresis method Electrophoresis A method using the phenomenon that, when electricity is applied to an electrolyte solution with suspended charged particles, the particles migrate toward the polarity opposite to the charge on each particle, to measure the analyte based on its mobility. For the aqueous solution support, cellulose acetate membrane, agarose gel, polyacrylamide gel, etc. are used.	21-28
