Comparison between Cefoxitin Disc Diffusion and Phoenix Automated System with mecA/mecC PCR for Determination of Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus Isolates and Investigation of the Presence of PVL Gene

Introduction: A fast and accurate determination of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus strains is vital. This study aimed to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the cefoxitin disc diffusion (CDD) test and BD Phoenix automated system considering mecA/mecC positivity as the gold sta...
