Use of Vitek 2 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profile To Identify <i>mecC</i> in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

30 May 2013

Abstract excerpt

The emergence of mecC methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses a diagnostic challenge for clinical microbiology laboratories. Using the Vitek 2 system, we tested a panel of 896 Staphylococcus aureus isolates and found that an oxacillin-sensitive/cefoxitin-resistant profile had a sensitivity of 88.7% and a specificity of 99.5% for the identification of mecC MRSA isolates. The presence of the mecC...
