Abstract
ABSTRACT
Positive correlation between methicillin and oxacillin susceptibility test results and the detection of the
mecA
gene was observed for
Staphylococcus
aureus, S. epidermidis,
and
S. haemolyticus
as well as among
mecA
+
strains of other species of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). However, at least 50% of the
mecA
-negative strains of these other species of CNS were falsely classified as methicillin and oxacillin resistant.
