Methicillin susceptibility testing of staphylococci by Etest and comparison with agar dilution and mecA detection.

Methicillin susceptibility testing of staphylococci by Etest and comparison with agar dilution and mecA detection.

The susceptibility to methicillin of 44 Staphylococcus aureus and 120 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) was determined by Etest, agar dilution and presence of the mecA gene. There was agreement between the results of all methods when testing S. aureus. However, discrepancies occurred with CNS w...
