Clinical Trial Summary

This study expands upon pilot data for feasibility since May 2011. The study aims to evaluate the effect of rapid test availability on use of targeted spectrum antibiotics for non-MRSA abscesses in ambulatory patients in the Emergency Department (ED). The multi-institutional study will assess the feasibility of providing the GeneXpert® MRSA/SA SSTI assay to the ED and evaluate the impact of delivering the test result to clinicians in real-time on patient management decisions regarding the use of antimicrobial agents. Patients are randomized to standard culture (control arm) or to the GeneXpert® assay plus standard culture.
