Adjunctive mecA PCR for Routine Detection of Methicillin Susceptibility in Clinical Isolates of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci

Concerns over the reliability of routine sensitivity testing in coagulase-negative staphylococci often lead to the use of potentially less-effective antibiotics as few laboratories have access to routine tests for the mecA resistance gene. Although previous studies have shown a reasonable correlatio...
