Reliability of the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method for detecting methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.
The resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to methicillin and related drugs can be reliably determined by using the Kirby-Bauer method of susceptibility testing if the incubation temperature is 35 C or below, but resistance may be missed at 37 C. The 1-mug discs of oxacillin and nafcillin or the 5-mug discs of methicillin may be used for this purpose but not the 1-mug discs of cloxacillin. The lat...
متن کاملDetection of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by CHROMagar Versus Cefoxitin Disk Diffusion Method
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been emerged as a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen worldwide. There are many challenges for laboratory detection of MRSA. The aim of this study was to compare different phenotypic methods with PCR based method as a gold standard for detection of mecA gene to detection of MRSA. A total of 220 clinical isolates of S. aureus which w...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cefoxitin Disk Diffusion Test for Routine Detection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Background and Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections. Detection of MRSA in laboratories is very important for treatment and appropriate infection control. The aim of this study was to evaluate cefoxitin disk diffusi...
متن کاملidentification of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus by disk diffusion method, determination of mic and pcr for meca gene
objectives: staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of serious infection in both hospital and the community. methicillin-resistant s. aureus (mrsa) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates with rapid development of resistance. there is a need for early and reliable detection of mrsa infection to direct antibiotic therapy, and more effectively control cross-infection. in this st...
متن کاملCeftaroline: A New Cephalosporin with Activity against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Microbial resistance has reached alarming levels, threatening to outpace the ability to counter with more potent antimicrobial agents. In particular, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a leading cause of skin and soft-tissue infections and PVL-positive strains have been associated with necrotizing pneumonia. Increasing reports of growing resistance to glycopeptides ha...
