Zeus Scientific Launching Rapid Nasal Screening Test

July 10, 2008

Zeus Scientific will market its rapid nasal screening test for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which can be life-threatening.

Published studies have shown that time-to-results is critical in reducing MRSA hospital infection rates.

The new test will enable healthcare professionals to identify carriers of the pathogen within two hours, the company said.
