Cefoxitin and Oxacillin Resistance Conundrums

2024-10-29

Abstract excerpt

Recently, mecA-negative Staphylococcus aureus strains with decreased susceptibility to oxacillin and cefoxitin have been sporadically reported worldwide. They are called as borderline oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (BORSA). Almost, more than 30% of such strains are often misinterpreted and reported as MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) due to the hyperproduction of beta-lactamase enzyme...
