Abstract excerpt
Some proportion of type A blaZ gene-positive methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus strains exhibit the cefazolin inoculum effect (CIE). The type A blaZ gene was divided into two groups by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at Ser226Pro and Cys229Tyr. The median cefazolin MICs at a high inoculum concentration were 5.69 μg/ml for the Ser-Cys group and 40.32 μg/ml for the Pro-Tyr group (P = 0.01). The...
