Revised interpretation of oxacillin MICs for Staphylococcus epidermidis based on mecA detection.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Apr 1995

McDonald C L, Maher W E, Fass R J

Abstract excerpt

In 1992 and 1993, at The Ohio State University Medical Center, a larger proportion of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains required oxacillin MICs of 1 to 2 micrograms/ml than did Staphylococcus aureus strains. mecA genotype was correlated with antimicrobial susceptibility for selected clinical S. epidermidis strains. All 14 strains that required oxacillin MICs of < or = 0.25 microgram/ml and 2 of 5 strains that...
