Abstract
ABSTRACT
Mannitol salt agar was evaluated for detection of oxacillin resistance in 136
Staphylococcus aureus
isolates. All
mecA
-positive isolates (
n
= 54) were correctly categorized as oxacillin resistant by the disk diffusion test (1-μg disk; zone diameter, <16 mm); the specificity was 97.6%. Agar screening (2 μg of oxacillin per ml) revealed a sensitivity of 98.1% and a specificity of 95.1%.
