Comparison of MRSA-screen latex agglutination, conventional phenotypic methods and <I>mecA</I> gene detection for identification of oxacilin resistance in staphylococci

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

On the whole, 128 staphylococcal isolates (Staphylococcus aureus 65, Staphylococcus epidermidis 42, and Staphylococcus haemolyticus 21 strains) from patients of ten Czech hospitals were classified as susceptible or resistant to oxacillin by the standardbroth dilution micro-method (using the MIC break-point of 4.0 mg/L for resistance). The MRSA-Screen test (Denka Seiken Co., Japan), a latex agglutination for the detection of penicillin binding protein PBP2a in oxacillin/methicillin-resistant staphylococci, was compared with other commonly used phenotypic susceptibility tests. The PCR detection of the mecA gene, the presence of which is equaled to oxacillin resistance, was used as a reference genotypic method. In addition, the determination of the femAgene was performed also by this procedure. All 68 isolates (S. aureus 26, S. epidermidis 21, and S. haemolyticus 21 strains), determined as oxacillin-resistant, contained the mecA gene. The femA gene was present in all these S. aureus str
