Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The increasing isolation of penicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (PSSA) has renewed interest in benzylpenicillin (penicillin G, PCG) for targeted therapy. However, blaZ-encoded inducible penicillinase may not be detected by routine susceptibility testing. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of phenotypic penicillinase detection methods applicable to routine clinical laboratories,...
