Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of methicillin resistance determinants and β-lactamase in Staphylococcus species

Aims: To characterize the genotypic distribution of mec complex, bla complex, methicillin-resistance level (cefoxitinMIC) and β-lactamase activity in carriage methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus species for a potential correlation. Methodology and results: Biochemical test, 30 µg cefoxitin diffus...
