Reduced sensitivity of oxacillin-screening agar for detection of MRSA ST398 from colonized pigs.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria are opportunistic, zoonotic pathogens presenting major challenges for health care providers. The pig-adapted lineage, MRSA ST398, is now recognized worldwide (8), and pigs are increasingly considered an important source of community-acquired MRSA (3). Early detection of ST398 on farms is critical in order to prevent spread and human in...

Oxacillin resistance screening agar base for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

In a recent letter, Simor et al. reported results obtained by using oxacillin resistance screening agar base (ORSAB; Oxoid Limited, Basingstoke, England) for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from clinical specimens (A. E. Simor, J. Goodfellow, L. Louie, and M. Louie, Letter, J. Clin. Microbiol. 39:3422, 2001). ORSAB is a modification of a mannitol-salt agar su...

Evaluation of mannitol salt agar for detection of oxacillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus by disk diffusion and agar screening.

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-microgram disk; zone diameter, < 16 mm); the specificity was 97.6%. Agar screening (2 micrograms of oxacillin per ml) revealed a sensitivity of 98.1% and a specificity of ...

Comparison of cefoxitin disc diffusion test, oxacillin screen agar, and PCR for mecA gene for detection of MRSA.

UNLABELLED Cefoxitin is a potent inducer of the mecA regulatory system. It is being recommended for detection of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) when using disk diffusion testing. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of cefoxitin disc diffusion test to characterize MRSA and compare it with oxacillin agar screening and detection of mecA gene by PCR. MATERIAL...

Evaluation of new medium, oxacillin resistance screening agar base, for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from clinical specimens.

The incidence of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to increase in many countries worldwide. Rapid identification of MRSA from clinical specimens and screening of high-risk patients for MRSA colonization have been found to be cost-effective measures for limiting the spread of the organism in hospitals (1, 6). Several screening media for the enhance...
