Methods for Detection of Oxacillin Resistance among Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Recovered from Patients with Bloodstream Infections at the University Hospital in Brazil

Abstract: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are among the main causative agents of nosocomial infections, and multi-resistant strains has become a major issue over the past decades. The objectives of this study are to determine the frequency of oxacillin resistance among CoNS strains isolated from blood cultures of patients admitted at the University Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine of Botucatu, Brazil, and to compare phenotypic methods with the gold standard (amplification of the mecA gene) used for the detect… Show more
