Abstract excerpt
The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends testing coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) strains to determine resistance against oxacillin by testing for mecA, PBP2a, or with cefoxitin disk. However, discrepant results of resistance to oxacillin and susceptibility to cefoxitin were found. In this study, we aimed to investigate the oxacillin resistance and cefoxitin susceptibility of CoNS...
