Correlation of Oxacillin MIC with mecA Gene Carriage in Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

1 Feb 2000

Abstract excerpt

The National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards has recently changed the oxacillin breakpoint from >/=4 mg/liter to >/=0. 5 mg/liter to detect methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) because the previous breakpoint lacked sensitivity. To determine the correlation between the new oxacillin breakpoint and the presence of the mecA gene, 493 CoNS of 11 species were tested. The presence...
