Sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay based on femA and mecA in strains. A 4 strains of MSSA and 15 strains of MRSA were tested using the LAMP method for the femA gene. All 19 strains were obtained from the hospital laboratory and analyzed using mass spectrometry. The drug resistance of the MRSA strains was determined through drug sensitivity testing. B 4 strains of MSSA and 15 strains of MRSA were tested using the LAMP method to detect the mecA gene. C PCR amplification of femA and mecA for 4 MSSA strains and 15 MRSA strains. D LAMP assays for the presence of femA and mecA in seven bacterial species. Abbreviations: Con, control group; Shl, Staphylococcus haemolyticus; Sep, Staphylococcus epidermidis; Slu, Staphylococcus lugdunensis; Cst, Corynebacterium striatum; Efa, Enterobacter faecalis; Kpn, Klebsiella pneumoniae; Eco, Escherichia coli
