A rapid bioluminescent method for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonies.

A rapid method for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is described. A bioluminescent technique was used to compare the amounts of extracellular adenosine triphosphate released by methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive strains. When tested by this method 29 Staph. aureus strains of known methicillin susceptibility were correctly identified.

Laboratory utilization in group general practice.

A survey was made of laboratory utilization in a busy group general practice for a one-month period. Approximately 10% of all patients seen in the period were referred for laboratory investigations. The majority of patients were females. Data are presented on abnormal results, laboratory area utilization and report time expectations. The pilot study suggests that there is a demand for local laboratory services in practices where four or more doctors are practicing, but other factors involved require investigation and assessment.
