Detecting methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus: comparison of different phenotypic methods and the polymerase chain reaction.

British journal of biomedical science - 1 Jan 2013

Ahmad S

Abstract excerpt

Cefoxitin is a more potent inducer of the mecA regulatory system compared to oxacillin in Staphylococcus aureus. It has been recommended for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) when using disk-diffusion testing. The aim of this study is to compare the results of cefoxitin and oxacillin disk-diffusion methods against the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of MRSA. A...
