Comparison of cefoxitin disk diffusion test and mecA gene PCR results for methicillin resistance detection in Staphylococcus intermedius group isolates from canine origin in Brazil
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study evaluated cefoxitin disk diffusion tests breakpoints and their correlation to mecA gene PCR results for detecting Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus intermedius Group (MRSP) isolates from dogs in Brazil. Agreement using proposed breakpoint (resistant ≤ 30 mm) was encouraging. The current study reinforces that an epidemiological breakpoint can be established to predict presence of MRSP.

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 کاملDetection Of Methicillin Resistance In Staphylococcus Aureus By Disk Diffusion And PCR Methods
Background and Objective: Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is an increasingly important clinical problem. A chromosomal gene, mecA, mediates resistance to penicillinase-resistant penicillins such as methicillin and oxacillin in Staphylococcus aureus. We evaluated the validity of disk diffusion test by using oxacillin, methicillin an...

Background and Objective: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common microorganisms that is recovered from clinical bacterial isolates. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends usage of cefoxitin when using the disk diffusion method to determine resistance against methicillin for S. aureus. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy ...
