Clinical validation for oxacillin susceptibility testing of coagulase negative staphylococci.
Oxacillin susceptibility of coagulase negative staphylococci as assessed by conventional methods was confirmed by a modified Etest method, extended to detect heteroresistance. Verification of susceptibility was followed by successful treatment for six consecutive children with deep seated infections. Physicians' trust in such a validated method will contribute to the appropriate use of antibiot...
متن کاملVancomycin and oxacillin synergy for methicillin-resistant staphylococci.
An increase in oxacillin activity was observed against methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the presence of a sub-MIC of vancomycin. Vancomycin and oxacillin were synergistic against 14 of 21 strains of MRCNS and MRSA. A pattern of enhanced killing was also supported by time-kill studies. These results suggest t...
متن کاملBranched-DNA assay for detection of the mecA gene in oxacillin-resistant and oxacillin-sensitive staphylococci.
The identification of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus isolates in the clinical laboratory has typically been performed by using methods that detect phenotypic expression of resistance determinants. However, these methods may be difficult to interpret and some isolates do not express resistance until selective pressure is administered. Assays that detect genetic determinants are not subject...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance genes & susceptibility patterns in staphylococci
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to evaluate the association between the antibiotic susceptibility patterns and the antibiotic resistance genes in staphylococcal isolates obtained from various clinical samples of patients attending a teaching hospital in Hatay, Turkey. METHODS A total of 298 staphylococci clinical isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testi...
