Improved Detection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Using Phenyl Mannitol Broth Containing Aztreonam and Ceftizoxime

We tested a phenyl mannitol broth containing ceftizoxime and aztreonam (PHMB(+)) for detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with reference MRSA strains and, subsequently, with clinical samples (n = 1,098). All reference MRSA strains induced color change in PHMB(+) after 24 t...
