Abstract excerpt

Eighty-three isolates of Staphylococcus aureus for which MICs of methicillin of 4-16 mg/L had previously been recorded were tested for the presence of the mecA gene with a DNA probe and a PCR assay. There was complete agreement between the results obtained by these methods; 39 isolates were mecA-positive and 44 were mecA-negative. Using the presence of mecA as the defining standard, several phenotypic methods for...
