Identification and detection of methicillin resistance in Non-Epidermidis coagulase-negative staphylococci
The NCCLS (2004) presented a new methodology to detect, by disk-diffusion agar, oxacillin-resistance using a cefoxitin disk. We identified coagulase-negative staphylococci (SCoN) to the species level and compared the use of cefoxitin disks (30 µg) with oxacillin disks (1 µg), agar dilution (minimum...
