Methods for Improved Detection of Oxacillin Resistance in Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci: Results of a Multicenter Study
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
A multilaboratory study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of the current National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) oxacillin breakpoints for broth microdilution and disk diffusion testing of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) by using a PCR assay for mecA as the reference method. Fifty well-characterized strains of CoNS were tested for oxacillin susceptibility by the NCCLS broth...
