Evaluation of disc diffusion and Etest for determining the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus to mupirocin
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
The susceptibilities to mupirocin of 102 selected clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and of control strain S. aureus NCTC 6571 were determined by disc diffusion (using discs containing 5, 15, 25, 30, 50 and 200 microg of mupirocin) and Etest and the results were compared with MICs determined using an agar incorporation method. On the basis of agar incorporation MICs, 42 isolates were sensitive to...
