Correlation of Cefoxitin MICs with the Presence of mecA in Staphylococcus spp.

This report describes the results of an 11-laboratory study to determine if a cefoxitin broth microdilution MIC test could predict the presence of mecA in staphylococci. Using breakpoints of ≤4 μg/ml for mecA-negative and ≥6 or 8 μg/ml for mecA-positive isolates, sensitivity and specificity based on...
