Comparison of mannitol salt agar and blood agar plates for identification and susceptibility testing of Staphylococcus aureus in specimens from cystic fibrosis patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Staphylococcus aureus strains can be determined accurately by using isolates from mannitol salt agar, and yellow isolates on mannitol salt agar at quantities of >1+ can be reported as S. aureus. These methods decrease the time to identification/antimicrobial susceptibility testing of S. aureus and decrease costs through eliminating additional testing.

متن کاملComparison of five methods for oxacillin susceptibility testing of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cystic fibrosis patients.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are now a worldwide problem. Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are commonly colonized and infected by MRSA. Accurate oxacillin susceptibility testing is mandatory for the adequate management of these patients. We performed a comparison of the accuracy of different tests in CF isolates, including methicillin-susceptible S. aureus and MRSA with diffe...
